      After her graduation in pharmacology at ETH Zurich, Stina Werenfels changed the subject radically: she started to study film at New York University (Tisch School of the Arts). Amongst others, she there attended master classes with Spike Lee, Arthur Penn and Marketa Kimbrell. Her student film โ€œFragments from the Lower East Sideโ€ was shot and produced in New York. Back in Switzerland she made the award-winning short โ€œPastry, Pain & Politicsโ€. Her first feature film โ€œNachbebenโ€ premiered at the Berlinale Panorama and won several prices, including the 2006 Swiss Film Prize. โ€œDora oder Die sexuellen Neurosen unserer Elternโ€ based on the play by Lukas Bรคrfuss, was also invited to the Berlinale in 2015 and nominated four times for the Swiss Film Prize. Her contribution to โ€œso einfach war dasโ€ is part of the permanent exposition at the Jewish Museum, Berlin.
      Since 2008 Stina Werenfels has been a guest lecturer at the ZHdK in the field of film, music and theatre.
