Julia Kathrin Lehmann is a documentary filmmaker and experienced photographer who brings her photographic sensitivity to the moving image. She is interested in socially engaged documentary filmmaking and uses documentary filmmaking as a narrative and explorative tool for investigative storytelling.

Currently, she is exploring the visual potentials of a feminist approach to drone cinematography together with the affectivity of telepresence.
