Part three of the masterclass with Michael Glawogger.

Born in Graz, Austria, in 1959, Michael Glawogger is a traveling filmmaker. Not only does he literally journey around the world for his documentaries, he also moves back and forth between forms and genres, between photography and writing, between gentler and more forceful tones.

He graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute and the Vienna Film Academy and has since worked as a director, writer, and cinematographer in Vienna, Bangkok, and Znojmo. He plans to shoot in Poland and Bangladesh in the near future.

He has so far remained a maverick figure in the burgeoning Austrian film scene of the last decade and generally shoots on film, a fact that has probably less to do with his effortless back-and-forth between documentary and fiction than with his unique, free-spirited sensibility.
