Janka lives in Budapest and completed her Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts, where she pursued a specialization in Aesthetics as well as Film Theory and History. Her primary field of research has been the Czechoslovak New Wave, with particular focus on the Slovak director, Juraj Jakubisko. She was moved by the social sensitivity of his works and the subtle nature of his artistic vision. It was also Jakubisko whose movies made her reflect on the role that archival footage can play within feature films. For her analysing films is all about seeking a deeper understanding of their subjects, because to understand a film we must also try to understand the world that it reflects.
