Biography
Annika Pinske, who grew up in Frankfurt/Oder, studied philosophy and literature at the Humboldt University in Berlin and the University of Potsdam. During her studies she interned at the Volksbühne with directors René Pollesch and Dimiter Gottschef. From 2013-2015 she was assistant to director Maren Ade (TONI ERDMANN.)
In 2011 she started studying directing at the Deutschen Film- und Fernsehakademie Berlin. She was nominated for the German Short Film Award 2015 with her first short film SPIELT KEINE ROLLE. In 2016 she won it in gold with her second short film HOMEWORK. Both films were awarded the “Prädikat Besonders Wertvoll” by the Filmbewertungsstelle and screened at numerous festivals worldwide.
Her feature film debut TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER/ALLE REDEN ÜBERS WETTER celebrated its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival 2022 and was nominated for the GWFF Award for Best First Feature. The film toured festivals worldwide (including New York – new directors, new films at MoMA; Sydney Film Festival; Seattle Film Festival etc.).
