A graduate of Le Fresnoy, Studio National des Arts Contemporains (France) and the Institute of Interdisciplinary Cultural Studies at the University of Tokyo, Atsuhiko Watanabe makes films inspired by contemporary theater, choreographic works and electronic music. Among his main works, the following should be noted "A, (2001)", dance video made in collaboration with Mariko Aoyama, a Japanese choreographer and former dancer of Pina Bausch, presented at the Mori-Yu Gallery in Kyoto, at "Art in Casa Osaka" 2001, and the re-edited version, "Adagio" (2002) selected at the Festival Vidéo Forme of Clermont-Ferrand 2023. His two short films produced with the support of the Fresnoy and the French Ministry of Culture, "Alienation (2003)", selected at 56th Locarno International Film Festival 2003, and "Resonance of Tears" (2004), selected in competition at 34th International Film Festival Rotterdam 2005, which received the Jury Special Prize at 8th Short Shorts Film Festival Tokyo 2006, and was invited to 29th International Short Film Festival of Clermont-Ferrand 2007.

In 2008-2016, he was an Associate Professor as well as Director of the Department of Cinema at Tokyo Zokei University, working with a renowned filmmaker, Nobuhiro Suwa as its president, in Japan. His documentary on ballet, "Hannah O'Neill, Première danseuse of Paris Opera Ballet" (running time: 50 min) was broadcast in September 2019 then rebroadcast in May 2020 and July 2023 on the Japanese TV channel, WOWOW. It is a documentary film about Hannah O'Neill, finally named "Danseuse Étoile" in March 2023, of the Paris Opera Ballet.

Since the time of Paris Lockdown, he has made three experimental animated short films in which he has worked entirely on his own, from the visuals to the music. The first one, "Horror" has been officially selected for sixteen international film festivals, including Kiev Film Festival 2021 (Best Experimental Film), NewFilmmakers New York 2021 and The Fine Arts Film Festival Los Angeles 2021. The second opus, "Subjectile" (2021) was selected as "Best Animated Short Film" and "Special Jury Prize for Best Experimental Film" at International Motion Picture Film Festival of India 2021 as well as at other international film festivals. His third animated short film "Thanatos" (2021) was firstly selected at the 16th Cyprus International Film Festival 2021 (Honorable Mention). It also gained recognition at 75th Salerno International Film Festival 2021 and 10th Mumbai International Short Film Festival 2021. The film was honored with the Best Animated Short Film Award at the Stockholm Short Film Festival in 2022.

Atsuhiko's dance film, titled "Telos" (2023), is an attempt to explore new frontiers in narrative film by focusing on the interaction between contemporary dance and cinematic directions. By eliminating the need for pantomime explanation, he aims to convey the heroine's psychology, haunted by the temptation of death, through the abstract contemporary dance choreography. In 2023, this film won the Best Experimental Film Award at the Paris International Short Festival and has been selected at various international festivals, including 12th Cambodia International Film Festival, 28th VideoDanzaBA International Festival, The B3 Festival of the Moving Image (Short Film Competition) at B3Biennale-Frankfurt, 6th TANZAHOi International Festival for Dance in Hamburg, and 77th Salerno international Film Festival 2023 in Italy.
