Veronika Hafner studied directing at the University of Television and Film Munich (HFF).

Her films were selected for national and international festivals receiving multiple awards (Max Ophüls Preis, ADC, New York Festival, Spotlight, First Steps, The Young Ones,).

As she is excited about immersing herself into new subjects and surroundings,

she graduated with various degrees (psychology, geography, German literature)

from the Munich University LMU.

Working as a psychotherapist for children and adolescents and a film director at the same time is not a contradiction for her but in contrast a fruitful symbiosis to her inquisitive nature. Both jobs challenge her passion for viewing things in a different perspective.
