Biography
Nicolas Steiner (b. 1984, Sion, Switzerland) attended the European Film College in Denmark in 2005-2006 before studying ethnology, film studies, and political science at the University of Zurich. He then studied direction at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg in Ludwigsburg. As a teenager he accepted a number of roles in Swiss movies. As a director he made the comedy short It's Me. Helmut (Ich bin's. Helmut, 2009), the short animated film Eiskarl (2014), and the feature-length documentary Battle of the Queens (Kampf der Königinnen, 2011), the latter of which captures the atmosphere of an annual Swiss celebration focusing on "raging cows" at a giant outdoor arena. The quasi-documentary Above and Below, which Steiner shot over several years in the US, competed at this year's festival in Rotterdam.
