Christina was born in former East Germany and holds an MA in VISUAL & MEDIA ANTHROPOLOGY (FU Berlin) as well as a Diploma in MEDIA DESIGN (computer science and graphic design, University of Applied Sciences Augsburg). Since 2003 she works as a director, editor, photographer and graphic designer. Her work includes reportages, trailers and short films for clients such as Sasha Waltz & Guests, Max Richter, Berliner Festspiele, orchestras and string ensembles, theatres, bands and composers.
One of her focuses in filmmaking is NEPAL where she has directed 4 documentaries so far. Her new documentary “After Shangrila“ (90 min) will be out on DVD by early 2020.
Her work on social suffering has been strongly influenced by danish photographer JACOB HOLDT (»AMERICAN PICTURES«), with whom she toured the Southern States of the US in 2007 and interviewed former members of the Ku-Klux-Klan and the Black Panthers. In the same year she curated Jacob Holdt’s exhibition “GHETTOES IN OUR HEARTS“ in Copenhagen that involved more than 800 of his photographs. She has continued her collaboration with Jacob Holdt ever since.
In 2011 she curated and designed the EINAR SCHLEEF ZENTRUM in Sangerhausen, an exhibition about the director, painter, writer and stage designer EINAR SCHLEEF.
Christina is also the co-founder of Germany’s first cooperative cinema, “Kino am Kocher“ in Aalen, Baden-Württemberg.
After the earthquake in Nepal in April 2015 she organized a charity concert »Concert for Nepal« at Lido Berlin with a Line-Up of more than 20 artists, together with musical director Knox Chandler (Siouxsie and the Banshees, Psychedelic Furs, Depeche Mode, Dave Gahan). The Line-Up consisted of artists such as Phoebe Killdeer, Craig Walker (ARCHIVE), Siri Svegler, Tyler Pope (LCD Soundsystem), Eric Mingus, Astrid North, Erik Penny, Jim Avignon, Miss Kenichi, Axel Nagel and others.
In 2017 she created the stage visuals für »Volk unter Verdacht«, a documentary music theatre by Ulrike Ruf about the STASI in the former GDR. The piece had its world premiere in December 2017 at Radialystem Berlin. The music was composed by Iris ter Schiphorst.
Since 2012 she is a lecturer at HTK Berlin for Filmmaking, Film Studies and Media Studies.
