Andrea Kalinová

Andrea Kalinová graduated from the Department of Photography and New Media at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava with her graduation film The Secret of the Swimming Pool, which explored and mystified the never-finished swimming pool above the Bratislava tram tunnel in the form of a mockumentary.  In 2014, she completed her PhD studies at the Department of Intermedia and Multimedia at the Academy of Performing Arts with her dissertation Arts Strategies as Methods to Support and Protect Endangered Architectural Monuments. She is a member of the art group Abandoned (Re)Creation and the non-profit organisation Jaromír Krejcar Society, which aim to save the Machnáč Sanatorium in Trenčianske Teplice, about which she completed the documentary film Off Season in 2018.

Her latest film Tskaltubo / The last inhabitants of the Friendship Sanatorium (working title) is currently in post-production.
