Ane Hjort Guttu is a Norwegian artist and filmmaker based in Oslo. She works in a variety of media, but in recent years has mainly concentrated on film and video works, ranging from investigative documentary to poetic fiction. Among recurrent themes in her work are the relationship between freedom and power, economy and the public space, social change and limits of action. Between 2011 and 2016 she directed various portrait films where a central conflict reappears: an individual dissident struggling to handle oppressive social structures. Guttu is also a writer and curator, and a professor at the National Academy of the Arts, Oslo.
