Maja Classen

Germany

Maja Classen studied American Studies, Psychology, and German Studies at the University of Hamburg. She also studied Directing at the Konrad Wolf Film Academy in Potsdam-Babelsberg in 2000. During her studies, she explored hybrid forms and the question of authenticity in cinema—something that continues to be reflected in her work today. Since graduating as a director in 2007, she has worked as a freelance filmmaker in Berlin. Since 2008, she has taught documentary filmmaking at various film and art schools.
