DOMINIKA KOVACOVA

Documentary filmmaker and photographer

6_DominikaKováčová.jpg

I graduated from documentary directing at the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava, Slovakia. After my bachelor studies I started a postgraduate internship at Filmes do Gajo where I am currently working.

My filmmaking practice originated in documentary photography. During my studies in an art based environment, my interest diverted more towards conceptual photography which also reflected on my filmmaking ambitions.

During my internship I have become a part of different projects such as the experimental documentary Circus Movements or an upcoming short animation which has shifted my perspective of cinematic language towards a more conceptual narration. At the same time, I am working on a short  documentary I directed “Awohali - the egale” which is in post-production.

In my future practice I want to further focus on more abstract approaches, explore intersections of film with other art forms and use this fusion to expand my perception of the medium. Thanks to my photography background, I can utilize my visual language skills in order to challenge the limits of a moving image and re-evaluate cinematic conventions.
