Philipp Lippert

Hi, I’m Philipp (27) – filmmaker, green consultant and journalist from Germany. I love personal, emotionally stirring films with strong characters that address social topics and leave the audience with impulses at the end. With my project “Short-term Sister”, I won “Best Editing” and “Best Writing” at the RTS Student Television Awards 2021 and was nominated for the “Axel Springer prize for young journalism”. In 2022, the German media magazine “Medium Magazin” listed me in their “Top 30 under 30” of upcoming media talents.

For me, film is teamwork and thrives on exchange – so feel free to contact me if you have any ideas, suggestions, critique or if you would like to propose a collaboration. I look forward to hearing from you!

my projects.

my roots.

What does it mean when the search for one’s own identity remains an open chapter – perhaps forever? In this four-part documentary series, four people confront their own family history and search for their unknown fathers and mothers.

02.

short-term sister.

Philipp himself embarks on a search for his missing foster sister and confronts his family and himself with the trauma of loss – in the hope of reconciling with the past.

04.

a day between us.

Aron needs to be prepared all the time. He works as a local fireman in the Icelandic town of Vik which is located next to the massive volcano Katla covered by a glacier. Normally, Katla erupts twice per century. The problem: It hasn’t for the last 100 years.

04.

jordan - country of refugees.

Jordan is one of the countries that have taken in the most refugees worldwide. This documentary accompanies five refugees as they become involved in the community in which they now live – not as those seeking help, but as helpers themselves.

Apparently we had reached a great height in the atmosphere, for the sky was a dead black, and the stars had ceased.
