Anne Scheschonk, born 1977, studied Media Sciences and Cultural Anthropology with focus on Visual Anthropology. She worked as an editorial assistant and set manager for TV productions. In 2011 she finished the Professional Media Master Class (PMMC) for documentary film in Halle/ Germany. Today, she works a freelance author and filmmaker. Her documentary works come up to people who are perceived as an „other“ and, therefore, often are socially stigmatized: the intellectually disabled mother, the transgender kid … Sensitive portraits of individuals that ask questions about identity point out to relevant issues of our times: inclusion, equal rights, transphobia. Together with her son, Anne Scheschonk lives in Halle (Germany).
