Anna Bajjou
director, visual artist
Architect and visual artist specialized in screendance, born in Poland.
She chose to study choreography for the camera at the Place London Contemporary Dance School, because filmmaking for her is a way of combining the background in space design, painting, photography and the interest in human performance.
As a dancer she collaborated with Janina Rajakangas and co-founded a contemporary dance company HOPLAAA, with which she created various projects from short video work to multimedia performances. While living in Morocco she took part in audiovisual projects by artists collective grouped at the Old Slaughterhouses of Casablanca and Ali Essafi’s Cinemaat Prod.
Her films, especially “Bumelant” and “Soloists” were shown in various important screendance and video art festivals internationally. With support of MKiDN Scholarship she created an online gallery MADcatalog together with a new series of experimental video dance projects.
