Petra Ladinigg: Biography Babylon 2009

Writer/Director

Project Title: KUMA

Born 1984 in Klagenfurt, but bred in Villach, where family, school, bruised knees and first heartbreaks took place. Moving to Vienna for study reasons in 2003, she is there still, studying Comparative Literature (University of Vienna), Screenplay Writing and Dramaturgy (Filmakademy of Vienna - University for Music and Performing Arts) and English and American Studies (University of Vienna) - so far she has gathered a BA for Screenplay Writing. Writes (screenplays, short and longer stories, newspaper bits and academic papers; in German and English), reads a lot, spends many hours watching (at the movies or in front of the TV-set), draws, designs and paints a bit (without any professional aspirations), loves to pack her backpack to go see new places.
