Documentary filming at DER SPIEGEL

Storytelling

Between 2013-2017 I was part of the multimedia desk of DER SPIEGEL. We experimented with multimedia storytelling to accompany the print magazine for screens.

My responsibilities were the supervision and production of visual stories – video and photo essays and short documentaries that would be featured in DER SPIEGEL Weitwinkel. I wrote concepts, conducted the filming and editing of video documentaries and oversaw post-production, both alone and in larger teams. Part of my assignment was supervising production teams that would work in the field, and produce their stories for the magazine. During this time, I also worked as a speaker and recorded voice overs for explainables and video essays.

My favorite stories were the documentaries on the sale of the Pireus port in Greece, the Maidan revolution in Ukraine, a female sailor in Gaza, and the documenta 15 in Athens (see some of my works here). My work was shortlisted for the Nannen Preis 2016.
