Felix Meyer-Christian

Felix Meyer-Christian is a writer & director and founder of the Berlin-based artist group COSTA COMPAGNIE. He holds a B.Sc. & M.Sc. in Geography and Intl. Law and a B.A. in Directing and works in the fields of documentary film, theater, AR and dance. His multimedia pieces, many of which were filmed in areas of war and conflict, such as in Ukraine, Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Israel, South Sudan and others, explore the connections between diametrically opposed realities and highlight the people on the ground, whose stories are often underrepresented in mainstream political, media and artistic contexts. His work has been supported by the BKM, the Federal Cultural Foundation and the cities of Hamburg and Berlin and for several years has integrated the use of 360° cameras and immersive 360° projections, XR and AI on stage. His first documentary feature film INDEPENDENCE premiered at the Film Festival Max Ophüls Preis in 2023, where it was awarded Best Documentary (Film Critics’ Award) and Best Music and had its nationwide theatrical release in March 2024.
