Thomas Oswald

Born and raised in a small town in West Germany, Thomas studied Visual Communication and Film at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts. Already during his studies, Thomas is passionately involved in the visual design of fellow filmmaker’s projects alongside his own films. His short film LES TEMPS QUI CHANGENT with screenings at Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen, Warszawski Festiwal Filmowy and part of German Film’s Next Generation Reel in 2008 sets of his career as director and cinematographer for a great number of films that reach audiences across the globe and at Festivals such as Shanghai International Film Festival, Aesthetica, Berlinale or FIDBA. Thomas is very interested in personal stories that can resonate within a larger context. After IN THE CENTER OF THE WORLD (2017) and TICS (2022), THE MOUNTAIN HAS FALLEN will be his third feature-length documentary.
