Anne Haugsgjerd
Anne Haugsgjerd (b. 1944) graduated as a graphic designer from Oslo National Academy of the Arts. She has worked with film since 1980, first as an editing assistant. She then went on to direct her own films - often humorous and reflective, biographical and self-exposing. Her films were a mixture of fiction and documentary, highly unusual in the 1980's when she made her first film, Life in Frogner. Her filmmaking was inspired by Swedish filmmaker Eric M Nilsson, who also edited Life in Frogner. The film went on to screen at several festivals; got an Audience Award and was nominated for the National Film Award Amanda. In the 1990s when the light, digital film cameras were launched, she started filming herself.
