Biography
Tonje Hessen Schei is a Norwegian director, producer, and screenwriter whose documentaries interrogate global power systems. Born 1971, she began making independent films in 1996, establishing a practice of rigorous investigative cinema that spans two decades. Her 2015 film Drone examined the classified CIA drone warfare program, breaking a silence around covert military operations. In 2019, Hessen Schei released iHUMAN, a probe into artificial intelligence, power, and social control that premiered at IDFA with sold-out screenings and a Doc Talk featuring Edward Snowden. The film won Best Norwegian Documentary at HUMAN International Documentary Film Festival in 2020 and qualified for the Oscar run that same year; it was screened at the UN and debated at Berlinale and Cannes. Most recently, she directed Praying for Armageddon, a political thriller investigating the fusion of Evangelical Christianity and American politics, which premiered at CPH:DOX on 20 March 2023 and at the Hamptons International Film Festival on 8 October 2023. As a screenwriter and director, Hessen Schei crafts narratives that expose systemic control—whether technological, military, or ideological. A Capricorn born in Norway, her documentary practice embodies the sign's capacity for patient, structural analysis of hidden machinery.
