Boris Seewald is a Berlin-based video director whose work approaches moving image as a form of visual choreography, arranging images rhythmically in dialogue with music and sound. Drawn to experimental and unconventional approaches, he combines abstract animation, mixed media, and live-action footage, developing films shaped by a strong post-production sensibility. Following a decade working in post-production as an editor and animator, his multidisciplinary practice reflects a director’s perspective rooted in editing and image manipulation.
Honoured with awards including the Cinedans Dioraphte Jury Award and a Promax Gold Award, and nominated for the Deutsche Kamerapreis, Seewald has developed a body of films recognised for their visual precision and musicality. He has collaborated with musicians such as Ralf Hildenbeutel, Francesco Tristano, Sebastian Plano, Alica Sara Ott, and Nemanja Radulovic, and worked with institutions and brands including Adobe, Deutsche Grammophon, Universal Music, Warner Music, Konzerthaus Berlin, Berliner Philharmoniker, Staatsoper Unter den Linden, Opéra National de Paris, Berlinische Galerie, and Arte, among others.
