Schift completed the Master of Film: Artistic Research in and Through Cinema, following a bachelors degree in Product Design. Her hands-on praxis — rooted in material exploration and embodied making - fosters a sensitive attunement to the materiality of the environment. This approach shapes how she works with the camera, moving images, archival material, objects, plants and trees.
Between 2019 and 2024, Schift was part of the collective ANT EYE, with whom she screened and exhibited work internationally. In 2022, she was awarded the Talent Development Grant from the Creative Industries Fund NL. Her latest work, the cinematic performance “It’s too cold for the spirits to live here” premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2026.
