BIOGRAPHY
Originally from Berlin, Nadine Poulain has studied fine art and filmmaking in London and New Zealand. After graduating from university, she spent extended working periods in Serbia and Iceland. In the past Poulain has worked with media installations and photography. Her current focus lies on experimental and documentary film.
Concentrating on natural phenomena and recently also on linguistic elements, she combines a variety of elaborate postproduction techniques. The aspects of the sublime and the otherworldly strongly inform her work. Off further importance is the use of sounddesign, which at times touches musical spheres.
In 2021 Nadine Poulain has set up the company Más Media Production in Budapest. Her films have been shown at international film festivals, as well as in various gallery and museum exhibitions.
