Ginan Seidl (she/they)

As an artist and filmmaker of german-iraqui decent I am working at the intersection of documentary and fiction in film and multi-channel video installations.
My practice grows from a curiosity about poetic approaches to documentary material and a desire to learn from a variety of perspectives and cosmovisions.
Through these explorations, I hope to facilitate exchange, knowledge-sharing, and new forms of experience through film.
As a member of the FILZ collective and co-curator of the paradoks media festival in Leipzig, I value collaboration and the input of others.
Recently, I was honored with a special prize for visual art at Filmkunsttage Sachsen-Anhalt (2024), and I am currently pursuing my doctorate
at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.
My work has been shown at Forum Expanded (Berlinale), Vision du Reel, CPH:DOX, FICUNAM, and at numerous art institutions and galleries.
