Ange­li­ka Levi

Ange­li­ka Levi has been the Artis­tic Direc­tor of the Ger­man Film and Tele­vi­sion Acad­e­my Berlin (DFFB) since Octo­ber 2025. As a research-based film­mak­er, she cre­ates hybrid and essay­is­tic films that com­bine dif­fer­ent media, per­spec­tives, and nar­ra­tive forms. Her works inter­weave doc­u­men­tary research with mem­o­ry, imag­i­na­tion, and nar­ra­tive struc­tures, using these ele­ments to devel­op a dis­tinc­tive cin­e­mat­ic lan­guage. In doing so, Levi places images and sto­ries in new social con­texts and opens up spaces for a mul­ti­fac­eted explo­ration of his­to­ry, the present, and per­cep­tion.

MEIN LEBEN TEIL 2, her first fea­ture-length essay­is­tic doc­u­men­tary, pre­miered in 2003 in the Forum sec­tion of the Berli­nale and won sev­er­al awards. CHILDREN OF SRIKANDI pre­miered in 2012 in the Panora­ma sec­tion of the Berli­nale and also won sev­er­al awards. MIETE ESSEN SEELE AUF was screened at the Haus der Kul­turen der Welt and broad­cast on arte. AHORITA FRAMES pre­miered in 2021 in the Forum Expand­ed sec­tion of the Berli­nale. Levi stud­ied at the DFFB and taught at the Film Depart­ment of Hochschule für Gestal­tung Offen­bach from 2022 to 2025. Her works are dis­trib­uted by Arse­nal Dis­tri­b­u­tion.
