With the foundation of her company, berg hammer film ltd., in 2018 she started to realize these projects more particularly. The former karin berghammer filmproduktion e.U. founded in 2001 focused on the production and international distribution of popular scientific films on the topics of birth and women’s rights. The particular focus on these topics originates from Karin’s training as a midwife and her work experience of 7 years. She even developed the innovative delivery bed “Partura”, whose patent she exploited internationally with the company Schmitz & Söhne. Due to her extensive knowledge, a lot of her works are artistic examinations of probably the most profound human experience: giving birth and being born. Furthermore, her films deal with all the social, cultural, even ritual implications that come with it. Karin holds a master´s degree in TV and Film Production from Danube University Krems (2005), was educated at University of Film and Television in Los Angeles (UCLA) and Kaskeline Filmacademy in Berlin (1989-1993).
