Industry Days

Masterclass - GUNNBJÖRG GUNNARSDOTTIR ("Victoria Must Go")

Language: English
Location: Aladdin Blue
Time: 15.00 

The director is half Icelandic and half Norwegian, based in Bergen. As a self-taught filmmaker, she began as a photographer and produced her own material for several years. Her career stretches back to 2012, where she started making music videos and short films. In 2018, Gunnbjörg wrote and directed her first feature-length film, the zero-budget production "For evig og aldri", a feel-good film about abortion and the expectations of motherhood. In 2019, she co-directed her first full-length documentary, "The Art of Fallism" , a political film about structural racism and gender in South Africa. Gunnbjörg's interest in mixing genres, especially comedy and drama - with elements of action - has led her to write and direct "Victoria must die".
