Hanna Kortus is a filmmaker based in Linz, Austria and Cologne, Germany. She was born in 1999 in Regensburg, where she developed her passion for moving images within the confines of her school film group. Her seminar movie "Zweibahnstrasse" made its mark at several youth film festivals. Throughout her Intermedia studies at the Art Institute of the University of Cologne, she broadened her interests and increasingly engaged in interdisciplinary art forms. Her works include video art, video installations, dancefilm and soundwalks. From a queer-feminist perspective, she explores the presentation of bodies in the intricate interplay between the seen and unseen. In 2024 she started her masters program at the Artuniversity in Linz in the timebased media class. In addition to her studies, she works since 7 years as a freelance camera assistant, collaborating on various film and series productions.
