Eva von Schweinitz

Eva von Schweinitz, born in Bonn, Germany, is an interdisciplinary artist, primarily working in theater, film, and interactive media. She holds a B.A. in film with focus on screen-writing from International Film School Cologne. Several of her screenplays were realized as short films, featured at film festivals, and broadcast on TV in Germany. Her short documentary "early hours" was nominated for the German Young Talent Film Award in 2006. "A Film Is A Film Is A Film", her first entirely self-produced short documentary celebrated its World Premiere at Tribeca Film Festival in spring '14. As a 2014 MFA candidate at the Performance and Interactive Media Arts program at Brooklyn College, she has expanded her interest in storytelling into exploring ways of using media as a narrative device and technology as a performatic tool. Her research has been focused on interactive structures that blur the line between the analog and the digital world, and between the fictional and the real.
