Anna Broinowski

Anna Broinowski is a filmmaker and writer who documents counter-cultural subjects. Her globally screened films include Hell Bento!! (about Japanese subcultures), Forbidden Lie$ (about hoax-author Norma Khouri), Helen's War (about anti-nuclear crusader Dr Helen Caldicott) and Aim High In Creation! (about North Korean cinema). They've won a Walkley and other gongs but Anna's favourite is the Moscow Film Critic's prize which is a carved elephant. A senior lecturer at Sydney University, Anna researches propaganda and deepfakes. Her previous books are Please Explain: the rise, fall and rise again of Pauline Hanson and The Director is the Commander (reprinted in the US as Aim High in Creation!).
