Born in 1970, Vienna, Barbara Albert is one of the most promising film directors in Austria. After studying Directing and Scriptwriting at the Vienna Film School from 1991 to 1995, Ms. Albert went on to collect her first international film prize with her short film "SWALLOWS OF THE NIGHT" (1994), which won the Best Short Film award in Saarbrücken, Germany, at the Max-Ophüls-Film Festival. Her feature film debut NORTHERN SKIRTS (1999) was nominated for a Golden Lion at the Vienna Film Festival and on the same year, Ms. Albert was nominated for the European Discovery of the Year award by the European Film Award commission. NORTHERN SKIRTS was screened to critical acclaim at the MOMA/New Directors in 2000 and was a festival favorite around the globe. FREE RADICALS (2004) is Ms. AlbertŐs second feature film and an audacious jump in an already celebrated career. Funded by Austrian, Germany and Swiss funds, FREE RADICALS was the official Austrian submission to the Best Foreign Film category at the Academy Awards in 2004. FILMOGRAPHY:
