Biography

Katrin Gebbe studied liberal arts and visual communication at the Academy of Visual Arts in Enschede, where she made her first short experimental film.[1] In 2005, she completed her postgraduate specialty work of film direction at the Hamburg Media School.[2] Her degree work, the short film Şoreş & Şîrîn, featuring Ulrike Folkerts, was awarded at the Chicago International Children's Film Festival with the ″Adult Jury Prize″ for short films.[3] In addition, Şoreş & Şîrîn also received the European Young Civis media prize in 2009[1]

Her feature film début Nothing Bad Can Happen (German: Tore tanzt) tells the story of a Hamburg Jesus Freak. The film received an invitation from the Un Certain Regard section at the 66th Cannes Film Festival.[4][5] There, the movie also had its premiere, on May 23, 2013. Gebbe and Verena Höfe-Gräft, the producer, originally met during their time in college and started working together on the project in 2009. The main role was played by the actor, newcomer Julius Feldmeier.[6] For this movie, Katrin Gebbe received the 2013 Preis der deutschen Filmkritik for the best feature film début,[7] as the Bavarian Film Awards for the best newcomer director.
