Director Writer DOP Editor Dirk Hornschuch

Dirk Hornschuch’s work moves between documentary and fiction, combining moving images, animation, and hybrid forms of storytelling. Born in Thuringia, the director, writer, and visual artist explores the aftermath of German reunification, rural environments, and the relationship between people and nature. After extended stays in Romania and Hungary, he studied communication design with a focus on photography at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle and received a scholarship from the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation. Alongside his artistic practice, he makes documentary short films and leads film and animation workshops.
