Anka Sasnal’s films, which she makes together with her husband Wilhelm Sasnal, are part of a tradition of art and cinéma d’auteur – an approach that aims to challenge viewers through both style and subject matter. For her, cinema always has a social and political dimension. In this sense, her work can be understood as a form of engaged filmmaking.
