Wiebke von Carolsfeld spent her childhood in West Berlin, studied Literature and Art History in Cologne, and apprenticed at the publisher Kiepenheuer & Witch shortly after they’d acquired the rights to The Satanic Verses. When she emigrated to Toronto, for language reasons, she shifted her aspirations to film. One of her early projects, Eisenstein, resulted in a nomination for Best Editing at the Genies.
Wiebke is one of only a handful of women in Canada who has directed three or more feature films. In 2002, she directed Marion Bridge, which starred Molly Parker and won Best First Canadian Feature at TIFF. She went on to direct Stay with Taylor Shilling and Aidan Quinn and The Saver, which won her a nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay in 2016 at the Canadian Screen Awards. The novel Claremont is Wiebke’s first book and it’s been optioned for a limited series on TV. She is currently at work on her next novel as well as the development of her next film, a thriller called Someone’s Daughter.
