Aysun Bademsoy
Info
Aysun Bademsoy was born in Mersin in 1960 and aged nine moved to Berlin, where she still lives. She made her first foray into film as an actress, whilst also studying theatre and media studies at Berlin’s Free University. She got together with students from the German Film and Television Academy Berlin (DFFB) and took on assistant editing and directing roles. Her first documentary film saw her working with young people, using their migrant experience to bring a fresh perspective to the social landscape of Germany. The various realities of life in Berlin are a recurring theme in her observational documentaries, juxtaposed with the counter-shots of people in Turkey who have left Germany. Her films have screened at numerous international festivals. Since 2024, the Deutsche Kinemathek (German audiovisual heritage institution) took on the task of preserving and digitally restoring her work.
