About

Annika Glac is a Polish-Australian filmmaker whose work moves between intimate psychological drama and the worlds of music and performance.

Her current project The Unfinished Recording is the first film in her trilogy Human Symphony No.1. Her series Helena I Am, developed with VicScreen and the Torino Series Lab, is in active development. Her feature Radiant was selected for Film Independent's Fast Track Program and received the Alfred P. Sloan Award.

Glac has been supported by Screen Australia's Enterprise Program with mentorship from Academy Award–nominated director Agnieszka Holland. Her second feature Bunny, shot in Warsaw in Polish, played at Cottbus Film Festival and was distributed across Europe including Canal+. Her debut feature Belladonna, an Australian–Polish co-production, screened at major international festivals including Shanghai, Off Kamera Kraków and Goa before a theatrical release. She studied at the Victorian College of the Arts and began her career as Artistic Director of a theatre company, directing and producing six award-winning productions.

A classically trained pianist, she brings to The Unfinished Recording an insider understanding of the world she depicts and the silences it produces.
