About

Marie Suul Brobakke (b.1984) Norwegian, based in Copenhagen.

I work with conceptual documentary films and most of my work develops as methodical investigations.

Currently a PhD Fellow doing artistic research in conceptual documentary series at The Norwegian Film School.

I explore methods of creating constructed frameworks; by building or altering locations, and by staging situations and assignments for my participants.

Thematically I am interested in femininity and creation; heritage, trauma and healing; ancient cultural history and myths connecting people to land, language, body and each other across time.  My projects emerge from my own personal questions or conflicts, and I seek to offer new perspective and connections through my projects.

I hold an MFA degree from The Norwegian Film School in Oslo (2020), and a BA degree from TV- & Media Production from DMJX in Copenhagen (2013). 

Alongside my practice I have several years experience of teaching courses in documentary storytelling and video production, as well as years of experience in TV production as a TV director and video journalist.
