Why did you say that?

Nico Sanft

Raised between split households in the ebb and flow of rural working-class life, Nico's work frequently delves into the rawness of family tensions, home, belonging, and identity. With a deep affinity for the cinematic experience, he loves to work within many genres—but refuses to be boxed into any of them—and constantly seeks to intertwine the familiar with the unexpected. Nico's ambition is clear: to establish himself as a director in the German film scene. Since 2023, he has been studying directing at the ifs (International Film School) in Cologne, Germany.
