Anastasia Lapsui

Born in 1944 on the Yamal Peninsula, she has been working with Markku Lehmuskallio since the 1990s. While their initial focus was on documentary film, they have since developed an interest in filmmaking that dramatising legends and draws on Anastasia's own experience growing up, with a particular focus on the Nenets. They return to the Berlinale with two films that were previously screened at Forum; Seven Songs of the Tundra and A Bride of the Seventh Heaven.
