Biography
Anna Roller was born in Munich in 1993. During her directing studies at the University of Television and Film Munich she made five short films. PAN and THE LAST CHILDREN IN PARADISE were screened at more than 60 international festivals, including Palm Springs, Max Ophüls and Camerimage. BRAT was awarded the German Short Film Award “Lola” in 2021. Anna Roller was part of the Future Frames program at the Karlovy Vary Festival and in the Talent Village of the Les Arcs Festival in 2019. During the Lockdown in 2020 together with kalekone film she created and produced the IGTV Series Curfew Calls. Anna’s debut film DEAD GIRLS DANCING was coproduced by kalekone film and Totem Atelier and had a shared world premiere at the Tribeca Filmfestival and the Filmfestival Munich in 2023 and was released in theatres by Mubi. For her feature debut she was awarded with the New Faces Award.
Anna writes both on her own and in teams, preferably cross-genre stories with an emotional core. She remains a firm believer in cinema and in the idea that films should be watched together. She is convinced that the ideal of the authoritarian director-genius is outdated and advocates for collaborative, equal-footed teamwork.
