André Birken
(Germany/Portugal)
I was born in Minden (Germany) in 1971, where I founded the radio collective “Freundsender Morgenstern” with a fixed monthly broadcast schedule until 1995. At the same time, in 1996 I started directing “Was Weiss Ich” (Super8, 66′ – Nordstadt Filmtage Hannover 1997). As a freelance author, I have published in Nektar magazine and Zeter und Mordio. In 1995 I had my first solo exhibition at the Minden City Theater, which generated new invitations.
In 1997 I founded a new radio group, “Radio Namaste” – this time of an experimental nature, again with a permanent place at Radio Westfalica (until 2006). A year later I started studying sound art with Ulrich Eller, which culminated in the creation of MELATONIN®forte (premiered at the Oberhausen Short Film Festival in 2004). During this time I mainly worked as an educational guide or gardener.
In the same year I published “Des Lebens Roter Faden” co-authored with Alice Alighieri (Zeter and Mordio, ISBN 978-3-9809552-1-8) and two years later I contributed to the anthology „not testified” (ed. Mehmet Yaman, 2006 , Zeter and Mordio, ISBN-13 3-9809552-2-2, ISBN-13 978-3-9809552-2-5.)
In 2005, I finally moved to Portugal in 2005, where, while still working as a chef in a vegetarian restaurant, I began to study the landscapes, customs and history of this country and myself. prepared for my new job as a tour guide based in Évora.
I also directed some semi-documentary films, the most recently released ENTRESERES, awarded Best Documentary Short Film (Kosice 2020).
