Life

Leonie Krippendorff grew up with a brother with her mother.

Her graduation film and feature film debut Looping (2016) premiered at the Max Ophüls Prize film festival and was shortlisted for the 2019 German Film Prize. It is about the intense relationship between three women (played by Jella Haase , Lana Cooper and Marie-Lou Sellem ) in a psychiatric clinic. Leading actress Jella Haase won the Guadalajara International Film Festival Prize and a nomination for the Jupiter Film Prize for her performance as Leila .

Krippendorff took part in the Berlinale Talents Script Station in 2018 with the script for her second feature film Kokon (2020) .
