Polina Gumiela

Bulgarian-Polish artist born in Plovdiv, Bulgaria in 1981. She emigrated to Berlin in 2000. Her first interest belonged to photography which she started at highschool and brought her some acknowledgement before giving it up for filmmaking finding it more fulfilling. She has studied American Studies at the Free University Berlin and is a graduate in film directing from the German Film and Television Academy Berlin (DFFB).
She commonly films, directs and edits her films herself, focusing on intimate portraits and day-to-day matters. “Blue Eyes and Colorful My Dress” is her second feature-length documentary.
