Garching director Anna Niebert is returning home with her film "Iry" after living and studying internationally in recent years.
Garching - Anna Niebert (24) grew up and went to school in Garching, studied in Salzburg and now lives in Berlin.
She has now returned to her hometown Garching for a few hours with her film "Iry" in her luggage, which has now been shown at the Garching Film Night.
The 40-minute film "Iry" has already received awards at several film festivals. It is a love story of the future in which an app uses an iris pattern to determine the ideal partner.
The protagonist Luna has to choose between her boyfriend, whom she had met in the conventional way, and the preselected alleged ideal partner.
A little love, a little drama
Niebert has taken up a topic that she likes. “I like coming of age films,” says Niebert, but there is also a bit of a love story, a bit of drama. Her most recent productions, “Tadpoles” and “Rose”, also go in this direction. The strip Iry, however, was something special, it is the thesis of her degree in directing at the University of Applied Sciences in Salzburg. Her friend Maximilian Miller, whom she met in Austria, was behind the camera. With him she comes to the Garching Film Night in the Theatron of the Römerhof at the last minute, “because we are currently filming 'The School of Magical Animals 2'. Incredibly exciting, but also quite exhausting, ”says Niebert. The movie is the film adaptation of the popular children's book series by the German writer Margit Auer,the young woman from Garching works here as a producer and has thus made a step up the career ladder at the Berlin production company Kordes & Kordes. “The film should come to the cinemas next summer,” says Niebert, her name will then be featured in the credits and she can also enjoy the glamor of film festivals.
