Ben Miethke Joins the Birth UK Roster

Navigating between poetry and sentiment, Ben Miethke has made his mark on the audiovisual landscape thanks to his acute sensitivity and his focus on human emotions. His body of work is defined by a profound quest for purity and an exploration of what it means to be human. His films often explore the complexities of isolation, rivalry and the delicate bonds that define our existence. 

Ben noted, “I’m thrilled to be joining Birth and exploring the vibrant creative scene in the UK, building meaningful collaborations and crafting compelling stories. Birth's dedication to artistry resonates deeply with me, and I’m eager to bring new perspectives to this amazing roster."

Originally a graduate of the renowned school Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg in Ludwigsburg, Ben has developed a unique approach to narrative, rooted in deconstruction. Isolated Protagonists is a prime example: constructed as a triptych, this film examines the fragmentation of identity and social relationships. Or Dasein Und Sein, an experimental piece conceived as a dilated impression of time and non-linear narratives. ‘The most important thing for me is to find and accept a certain degree of sensitivity in humanity,’ he explains. ‘That's the essential aspect of my approach and my writing. And I like to play with time and interrupt the narrative.

Ben Miethke continues to develop projects that defy narrative conventions, combining rigor and emotional depth to create unique films.
