About Sarah Sandeh

My parents came to Germany to study in the 1970s. After the revolution, they decided not to return to Iran – so I was born in Darmstadt in the early 1980s.

After graduating from high school, I studied psychology and theater-film and media studies at the Goethe University in Frankfurt and later acting at the Westphalian Drama School, which is now part of the Folkwang University.

For more details please take a look at my CV.

In film I was particularly influenced by Rainer Maria Fassbinder and in theater it was Dimiter Gotscheff, whom I was able to meet, unlike Fassbinder. Morality played no role for either of them - in their work - rather love, for Fassbinder certainly also hatred. There is empty space, violence, serenity, language, injustice, brutality, bodies, but never answers.
