Miriam Dehne (born February 23, 1968 in Düsseldorf, Germany) is a German film director and screenwriter. The storylines of the Berlin-based director and screenwriter deal with dreams, the self-discovery process and the attempt to master as best as possible the balancing act between ideal and reality without selling oneself out. Miriam Dehne is also her own screenwriter. Her strong-willed characters sporting high heels, angel wings and sprinkles of glitter in their hair embark on a tragicomic search for themselves in storylines that are both poetic and surreal. Not much separates the Angle’s flight from its crash. Such a perspective on the world arises neither from the director’s sheer powers of observation nor a capacity for self-reflection, but rather from a life of experiences that catapult the viewer into a world where both are combined and to which the viewer invariably becomes a witness. == Biography and Artistic Development == Miriam Dehne grew up in Düsseldorf.
