Michael Haneke, born in Munich in 1942, is an Austrian director known for directing films such as 'Caché' (2005), 'The White Ribbon' (2009) and 'Amour' (2012). He studied philosophy, psychology and theatre in Vienna and has worked in theatre, opera and television. His work focuses on themes such as Europe's war-torn past and the loss of individuality in modern society.

Joanna Hogg started her career as a photographer before becoming interested in the moving image. She is best known for her naturalist dramas 'Unrelated' (2007), 'Archipelago' (2010) and 'Exhibition' (2014), all of which star her longtime collaborator, Tom Hiddleston. Hogg has a stark, observational formal style accentuated by fixed camera placements, extended shots, and the absence of a musical soundtrack.
