Her films have premiered at numerous renowned film festivals, including the Cannes Film Festival, the Berlin International Film Festival, and the Toronto International Film Festival.

At the 69th Berlin International Film Festival, Schanelec won the Silver Bear for Best Director for her film “I Was at Home, But…” (2019).

She began her artistic career as an actress on stage, but is now best known for her career as a filmmaker, which began during her time at the Berlin Film and Television Academy (dffb). While there, she studied under Harun Farocki and Hartmut Bitomsky and met Christian Petzold and Thomas Arslan. Together, they formed the so-called first wave of the Berlin School.
