Christian Alsan is a Berlin-based filmmaker known for his bold visual storytelling and genre-blending concepts.
His career began over a decade ago documenting musicians on tour before directing award-winning music videos for artists such as Kraftklub, Lance Butters and Casper.
In 2015, he won the ECHO award for Best National Video for Kraftklub’s “Unsere Fans.”
Alsan’s work often combines cinematic ambition with emotional intensity and has received multiple accolades, including the Preis für Popkultur and the Berlin Music Video Award. His videos break with convention and are praised for their dark aesthetic and narrative strength.

With a background in film editing and a passion for psychological horror, his work is defined by atmospheric intensity and an unflinching exploration of human conflict.
