Born in 1990 in Aarhus. Since 2014, Sidsel has worked as film director Joshua Oppenheimer and producer Signe Byrge Sørensen’s assistant at the production company Final Cut for Real and University of Westminster in London. Besides working with Joshua Oppenheimer on his documentary projects and upcoming fiction musical film, Sidsel is part of his research project at Westminster, Documentary of the Imagination, where she helps develop and define the self-staging methods Joshua established with his two previous films, The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence.

Having a background in Anthropology from the University of Copenhagen, Sidsel emphasises careful representation and thorough research of the topics her projects deal with, whether they are fiction or documentary. As a producer, she especially loves being creatively engaged in her projects.

Født i 1990 i Aarhus. Sidsel har siden 2014 arbejdet som instruktør Joshua Oppenheimer og producer Signe Byrge Sørensens assistent hos produktionsselskabet Final Cut for Real og på University of Westminster i London. Udover at arbejde på Joshua Oppenheimers dokumentarprojekter og kommende musical-spillefilm, er Sidsel en del af hans forskningsprojekt, Documentary of the Imagination, hvis mål er at videreudvikle og definere de selfstaging-metoder, Joshua skabte med sine to film, The Act of Killing og The Look of Silence.

Sidsel har en baggrund i Antropologi fra Københavns Universitet, og hun tror i høj grad på værdien af grundig research og refleksion over de emner, et projekt behandler, uanset om det er dokumentar eller fiktion. Som producer elsker hun især det at være kreativt involveret i sine projekter.
