I grew up there attending a school run by nuns from St. Louis, Missouri. I received a master’s degree in languages from the <strong>University of Helsink</strong>i. On a scholarship, I obtained another master’s at the <strong>Columbia University School of Journalism </strong>in New York with emphasis on film production and photography−and social rebellion. After all, the year was 1968.</p> <p><strong>           In the seventies</strong> I was a roving correspondent for the Finnish radio and television in the US and Latin America. As a photojournalist and documentary filmmaker I covered the Nicaraguan revolution and made <strong>Women in Arms</strong>, a film on the exceptional role of women in it.</p> <p><strong>           In the eighties</strong> I joined the <strong>United Nations</strong> as a film director. Much to my surprise, I specialized in disarmament issues, mainly the search for weapons of mass destruction in <strong>Iraq</strong>. My long documentaries were shown worldwide, as were my reports for <strong>CNN</strong> from <strong>post-war Kosovo</strong> where I was a senior TV-producer with the UN mission. After the UN, <strong>in the 2000s</strong> I went into <strong>still photography</strong> full-time.</p> <p><strong>          Today</strong> the distance of years allows me to transform my life experiences into <strong>staged but true film and photography</strong>. After several years of making serial photos I have returned to making moving pictures -- my first narrative dramatic films <strong>MEMORIES OF DESIRE </strong>will be completed in February 2019. Currently I am based in Paris and New York’s West Village.</p> <p><span style="color:#A9A9A9;"><small>©2019 Victoria Schultz</small></span></p> <p> </p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> </p> <p> </p> </div> </div> <div> <script src="/js/js.js"></script> <script defer src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" data-pin-build="parsePinBtns"></script> </body>
