Florian Hoffmeier is a director and psychiatric physician. 

 

His work examines how families and social systems behave under pressure, how  their power dynamics unfold, and how people construct shared reality through language and behaviour - or fail to do so. 

 

His debut short film AFUERA was screened internationally and received, among other recognitions, the Best Experimental Short Award at the Berlin Short Film Festival 2023.​

​

Alongside his clinical and artistic work, he is the author of the forthcoming book "Consensus – A New Framework for Empathy and Collective Agency" which investigates core philosophical foundations of moral communication.   

​

After studying Medicine in Germany, Portugal and Brazil, he completed a doctorate at Goethe University Frankfurt  and has also been working in the field of child- and adolescent psychiatry. 

​​

He has created a variety of artworks combining dance, experimental theatre, video and performance. His artistic language is informed by his own long-standing background in dance and experimental theatre. 

 

His cultural work has received public funding and critical recognition. It involved collaborations with institutions such as the GandhiServe Foundation, the German Association for Socio-Cultural Work (VskA) and the Centre for Arts & Sciences Montevideo GEN.​
