SENTEURS - Cineffable 2009

Laura SCHROEDER

Born in Luxembourg in 1980, Laura Schroeder graduated in 2003 with a Masters in Film Studies at the University of Paris 1 – Sorbonne and in 2006 a Postgraduate Diploma in Directing at the National Film and Television School, London. In 2008, she decides to move back to her hometown with the desire to establish herself in the local film and arts scene. Laura's interests are broad: the short films she directs range from fiction to documentary over to freer forms of audiovisual storytelling. Heterogenous - such could be the adjective that characterizes her work so far, but certain common factors show nevertheless in most of her projects: a strong interest in human frailty, in the intimate and in the individual, taken most of the time in a specific situation, decisive for her/him. Laura is currently developping a theatre project around Jacques Tati as well as the script for her first feature Contingencies. In December 2007, Contingencies was awarded the 2nd prize in a treatment writing competition organised by the Luxembourgish Film Fund.
