Ulrich Seidl

Austrian provocateur of the silver screen, Ulrich Seidl was born in 1952 in Vienna, Austria. Active from the late 1970s till present, Seidl is renowned for his unconventional approach to documentary and drama genres, with his most notable works including "Dog Days" and the "Paradise" trilogy, which scored a Palme d'Or nomination at the Cannes Film Festival. His films often feature a stark and brutally honest depiction of human behavior, pushing the boundaries of viewer comfort with their dark humor and explicit, sometimes disturbing content. Ulrich Seidl, a man who dares to expose the uncomfortably raw side of humanity, challenges his audience to look beyond the surface and question their own perceptions.
