Christian Søgaard is a filmmaker who writes and directs intimate films. His work is melancholic, unpolished, and honest about human emotions. He favors sparse, weighted dialogue that lets the unsaid do the heavy lifting and his visuals lean into symbolic imagery, poetry and an authenticity in his stories. Showing characters that suffer quietly, authentically, in ways that feel uncomfortably real. In fiction he has done most of his fictional work in the realm of short films, but has more narrative projects under his belt with music videos and commercials.

If you would categorize his work; his films would feel at home in the darker corners of contemporary Scandinavian cinema, asking the questions on how ordinary people live their lives, experience trauma, and whether they can ever truly heal.
