My bio:

I studied North American Studies, Latin American Studies and Psychology at FU Berlin and graduated with a a Master Thesis on the religious subtext of Science Fiction movies. In 2012, after a six month internship in the editorial team of Moviepilot.de, I started to work as a freelance film journalist and critic for several print and online outlets and at the same time completed a training for theatre pedagogy at VHS Neuköln (Community College). I also founded the movie blog filmosophie.com.

In my freelance writing, I started to get more and more into the topic of Gender and film, writing respective columns for Moviepilot.com and kino-zeit.de. In 2014, I launched FILMLÖWIN which is the first (and till today the only) German feminist movie website. Ever since I consider myself a feminist activist for women in the film industry as well as gender equality on screen. Apart from my writing, I give lectures, speeches, participate in panel discussions as well as festival juries, always closely connected to organizations as WIFT (Women in Film and Television), EWA (European Women's Audiovisual Network), and Pro Quote Regie (association of German female directors).

Examples of previous talks / appearances:

From Reel to Real - Film durch die feministische Brille

Film durch die feministische Brille - Willst Du wissen was die Matrix ist?

In ihrem Vortrag stellt die Journalistin und Filmkritikerin Sophie Charlotte Rieger eine Auswahl der Werkzeuge vor, mit denen sie für ihr feministisches Online-Filmmagazin Filmlöwin Kino- und Fernsehfilme analysiert. Was macht eine starke Frauenfigur aus? Wann ist ein Film „emanzipatorisch wertvoll“? Und warum sind diese Fragen überhaupt von Bedeutung?
Achtung vor Risiken und Nebenwirkungen: Die „feministische Brille“ kann unsere Sicht auf Film und Fernsehen, ja sogar die Welt maßgeblich verändern. Es ist wie mit der „Matrix“ der Wachowski-Schwestern: Nach der roten Pille der Erkenntnis gibt es kein Zurück mehr in die heile Welt des Unterhaltungskinos.
