Greta Stocklassa was born in 1993 into a Czech-Swedish family. Since 2013, she has been studying documentary at the Film and TV School of Academy of Performing Arts (FAMU) in Prague. Her short student films were screened at festivals in the Czech Republic and abroad. In her work, she focuses on the shadowy aspects of the prosperous Western society. Using strong visual tools and film language more often used in feature films, she tries to describe the underside of current socio-political phenomenae; her films border on documentary and fiction. In 2019, she finished her full-length documentary debut “Kiruna - A Brand New World'' that premiered in the main section of the Swiss documentary festival Visions du Réel and it collected a number of awards, for example the main prize of the student jury at Finále Plzeň 2020.
