Häly Heinecker

Director

Works on

My narratives follow a high ethical standard and aim to represent diverse intersections and realities of urban life. In both fiction and non-fiction, I approach people, spaces and situations in a way that feels least projected and most explorative. Making use of diversion and abstraction, I tell my stories with honest immediacy, while the audience can project their own ideas onto the content from a safe distance.
