Biography:
Johanna Wagner grew up in Sweden and was introduced to film at an early age by her father and his Super8 camera. Having completed a BA in English Literature and a year long course in documentary making in 2005, Johanna worked on a number of projects in Sweden. She was involved in Ladyfest, a cultural women's' festival and was an active member of RåFilm (RawFilm), a film community from Lund, Sweden, that made films on political subjects.
In 2008 Johanna moved to Scotland to complete a Masters degree in Film Directing at Edinburgh College of Art. During her year there she made an experimental 5-minute short film "The Red Dot Syndrome". Her graduation film was an 8-minute experimental documentary: "The Inner Shape".
Shortly after graduating Johanna secured her first commission from the Scottish Documentary Institute's scheme, Bridging the Gap, and has just completed her short documentary titled Peter in Radioland; a sensitive portrayal of her father.
