My name is Barbara Seiler. I was born in East Germany, in a small city called Eisleben. We moved around a lot, because my parents worked in theatre. I finished school 1989 in the year of "the big change" in GDR. I travelled the world, lived in Zürich, Los Angeles and Berlin, where I did my degree as a journalist. I worked for several big newspapers and for seven years as a cultural journalist for Swiss Television. At the moment I'm finishing my master's degree in film directing at Zürcher Hochschule der Künste.
