Berglind þrastardóttir

After finishing a Master in Clinical Psychology (2014), Berglind Thrastardottir (b. 1988) abruptly left her studies and decided to apply her knowledge in creative pursuits. As a filmmaker and writer her projects are woven together through the common theme of going beyond conditioned identity categories. Her work aims to encourage complexity in seeing, both introspectively and out into the world around us. Berglind was born in Reykjavik, raised around but nowhere in particular. She is currently studying Directing at the Deutsche Film- und Fernsehakademie Berlin. This is an excerpt excerpt from her book Becoming the not young girl which is currently looking for a publisher. berglind-thrastardottir.com. insta: @climacteria.
