Leona Goldstein (Germany)


I was trained as a photo journalist and am a voluntary NGO field worker since many years. I started working with film in the context of a participatory video project with unattended minor refugees during my studies of visual communication at FHTW, Berlin. Over the years, my focus has shifted from photography to film. My films are mainly applied in political education. Producing most of them independently, I am well experienced in the whole process of the realization of a documentary, from researching to directing, from camera work to editing. My last two films and three of my photo essays were released as a mixed media publication by Pro Asyl, a German human rights NGO.
