Katharina Stieffenhofer
Katharina Stieffenhofer is a Winnipeg documentary filmmaker, with an interest in regenerative agriculture, environmental sustainability and social justice.
Her documentary film “FROM SEED TO SEED” aims to engage and inform a wide audience to cultivate an appreciation of the skill, knowledge and risk involved in farming and to grow Eaters’ support for local food producers and sustainable food systems.
“…And This Is My Garden”, 2010, was her first feature documentary film about a school gardening project in Northern Manitoba, which empowers students with the skills to grow their own food sustainably in their own backyards. The award winning film has screened widely and is still used as an educational resource. Learn more.
Katharina’s appreciation of farming and love of Nature is rooted in her childhood and youth growing up on a mixed family farm on a Rhine island in Germany and expanded when her parents immigrated to Canada to become grain farmers in Southern Manitoba. Katharina holds a BFA from the University of Manitoba and she works a “day job” in the local film industry.
