PRIYANKA SARKAR is an independent filmmaker and movement artist based in 
Hamburg, Germany, originally from New Delhi, India. She excels in producing films and
videos across both commercial and indie landscapes, particularly within the
realms of fashion, lifestyle, and experimental cinema. Her expertise extends beyond 
production and direction to include post-production and creative direction. 
Priyanka holds an MFA in Film from the Hamburg University of Fine Arts and a BA in 
Fashion Media Communication from Pearl Academy, New Delhi. In the spring of 2022, 
she expanded her education with a semester abroad at the prestigious FAMU film 
school in Prague, Czech Republic. 

Early in her career, Priyanka gained significant experience as a director’s assistant and 
production assistant on commercial projects in New Delhi.  However, over time, she has 
developed a unique style that reflects her personal interests and identity. With a 
de-colonial perspective, Priyanka's art primarily centers on the femininity, challenging 
traditional artistic expressions and promoting gender equality.  Deeply inspired by
psychedelic aesthetics and movement,  her art aims to create immersive, multi-sensorial 
experiences that  transcend individual boundaries, fostering a sense of shared meaning 
and collective consciousness. 

In 2017, Priyanka founded “Laidback Productions,” a company dedicated to producing 
indie cinema in India and collaborating with artists worldwide. Since 2021, the company
 has also been active in Europe, continuing its mission to bring innovative and meaningful 
art to a global audience.
