Brigitta Hangartner PhD — Founder
Questions of how people deal with each other and with their environment have always been a central interest for Brigitta Hangartner; whether it was as psychotherapist doing group therapy or later as environmental psychologist researching and designing public, urban spaces. In film—her oldest love—she is also most intrigued by the drama and dance of human relationships; how they play out in comedy and tragedy and in different cultures. |
