Biography:

Anna Bertmark is an award-winning UK-based Swedish Sound Supervisor/Designer best known for her work on high-profile British independent films such as Adult Life Skills, Gwen, Blue Story, God's Own Country, You Were Never Really Here, The Proposition and Stephen Frears' Academy Award-winning film The Queen. During the 2000s, 10s and 20s, she worked on over 200 titles spanning cinema, TV-Drama, VR experiences, games, commercials and radio documentaries. Her sound design style is known for its non-literal, hyper-naturalistic and expressionistic, physical and emotional character perspectives, using sound as a narrative medium. As one of the first female sound supervisors in film and TV, she served as vice chair for the Association of Motion Picture Sound UK (AMPS) and on the Nomination Committee for the British Independent Film Awards (BIFA). Following her BIFA Best Sound award win, she became the first woman sound supervisor/designer to gain representation by an agent (United Artists). Other roles included mentor, university guest speaker (Universities of Sussex, Kent, Brighton, York, Royal College of Art, Ravensbourne, UAL and others), and she devised the short course 'Introduction to Sound Supervision' piloted at the NFTS in September 2020 aiming to contribute to increased diversity among leadership in sound post-production. She also co-curated the Sound of Story Symposium with Lighthouse Arts in Brighton, and co-founded the Women Who Are Sound network alongside sound supervisor Anna Sulley. She is now a PhD candidate in Digital Media at Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon (as of 2024).… Expand
