Lina Zacher (*1991, Braunschweig, DE) first studied design and then art education at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle (Saale). In 2015 she founded together with Delphine Bishop MIO, an association for multimedia to promotes intercultural media projects. She works as an independent filmmaker and artist in Germany, Madagascar and the Philippines. After several film installations and short film projects “Fonja” is her first feature film production. Her work is based on the examination of socio-political topics with a participatory approach. She deals with human behaviour in spatial and social contexts and tries to get in contact with her subject areas through a practical and field research approach.
