Works: "The Intimacy of Strangers"

Eva Weber is currently working as an independent filmmaker in the UK. "The Intimacy of Strangers" is her graduation film from the Project Development Lab, an advanced, one-year program, at the National Film and Television School (UK).

Originally from Germany, Eva came to the UK to study film and television at Goldsmiths' College. She has a BA in Communications and an MA in Television Drama.

Her first short, "Stealing Desire", was Goldsmiths' College entry into the FujiFilm Scholarship Competition and won the Steenbeck Award for Best Editing. The film was screened, amongst others, at Dublin Film Festival and the British Short Film Festival.

Eva's MA graduation film, "Disgraceful Conduct", won awards for Best European Short Film and Best Independent Short Film at the Algarve International Film Festival; as well as the Diploma of Honours at the Mediterranean Festival of New Filmmakers. The film was broadcast on Channel 4 and FilmFour, and shown at many international festivals, such as Edinburgh International Film Festival, Vancouver International Film Festival, Cinema Jove, and Tampere International Short Film Festival.

After her graduation, Eva went on to direct "Dyke Blend" for Channel Four. The nine short films play on and subvert the Nescafé Gold Blend advertising campaign with humour, passion and style. Broadcast as part of a four-week season of programmes, the press described "Dyke Blend" as "the undoubted highlight. worth watching just for these". The film was subsequently screened at many festivals worldwide, such as Chicago International Film Festival, San Francisco Lesbian and Gay Film Festival and London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival.

Since then, Eva directed the half-hour documentary, "Makings of a Queen", for Channel Four. She has also worked as one of six in-house directors for BBC Broadcast, directing numerous promotions and commercials for the BBC and advertising companies such as Karmarama and M&C Saatchi's.

Eva is currently making a number of short documentary films for Channel 4 Television, as well as developing a feature-length, dramatized version of "The Intimacy of Strangers".
