Mathias Reitz Zausinger works as a filmmaker and director. He studied philosophy, postcolonial studies with a focus on the history of ideas of the early modern period, as well as visual arts in Berlin, Munich and Lisbon. Starting from a critique of the political dimension of imaginative spaces, his documentary projects investigate the persuasive power of narratives and images written in moments of political and ideological transformation. His works focus on the aesthetic diversity of voice and spoken language. Since 2022 he is working on his cinema debut “BOALÂNDIA”, a documentary about contemporary forms of cultural resistance in Brazil – about a young generation of artists and activists who give themselves a voice with the means of cinema and start writing their own history.
