Olivia Kundisch
ActorOlivia Kundisch is a talented actress who was discovered by legendary director Klaus Lemke while she was acting in a layman's theater production. Her authentic charisma and natural presence in front of the camera quickly made her an exciting personality in the independent film scene.
In the provocative film “The Misandristinnen”, Kundisch delivered a compelling performance that underscored the complexity of the work. In EMETOFOBIA, she demonstrated her flair for experimental and emotional roles, while in the urban tragicomedy NOTES OF BERLIN, she authentically and charmingly portrayed the Berlin way of life.
Olivia Kundisch stands for unconventional acting that captivates with spontaneity and naturalness, and is increasingly establishing herself as a distinctive voice in German-language cinema.
