About
Award-winning filmmaker. Creative producer. Movement artist. Storyteller.
Hi, I’m Priyanka Sarkar— and I make art that moves—literally and figuratively.
​​
Born in New Delhi, now based in Hamburg, I mix analog and digital filmmaking to create bold fashion films, branded content, and experimental pieces. My work celebrates femininity, challenges old narratives, and fights for gender equality, all through the indie lens of Laidback Productions.
​
Collaboration and collective energy are at the heart of my process. Working with performers feels like a dance rehearsal—fluid, dynamic, and full of connection. That behind-the-scenes magic is as important to me as the final cut like this one right below :)

Think psychedelic aesthetics, raw emotions, surreal colors, and unexpected twists—that’s my vibe. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m dancing, teaching filmdance workshops, and blending movement with storytelling.
​
As a queer feminist artist, I love pushing boundaries and crafting meaningful, unforgettable experiences.
