Effi Armbrust studies ethnology and sociology at Heidelberg University, where she is involved in the student film club. Influenced by a study visit to South Korea, she has a particular interest in East Asian cinema and films that raise social issues. With a critical eye, sharpened by academia, a queer-feminist perspective and socio-political engagement, she understands film not only as an aesthetic expression, but also as a tool for making power relations visible and shifting perspectives.
