- Alexander Ku is a filmmaker and educator working between Sydney and Berlin. His academic background includes a Master of Media Arts and Production, along with postgraduate studies in dance, psychology, and education.
His films explore themes of gender, power, the human condition, and social dissonance through psychologically driven narratives that draw on both fiction and documentary traditions. His background in psychology informs his interest in character, motivation, and interpersonal dynamics, while his experience as an educator shapes a collaborative approach to filmmaking.
His debut film, 'Different Shades of Pink,' screened internationally and was later presented by the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia. His recent short film, 'The Captive,' has received awards and festival recognition across Australia, Europe, and North America.
Trained in classical ballet at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, Alexander worked professionally in dance and choreography before moving into filmmaking. The influence of movement, rhythm, and visual composition continues to inform his cinematic practice. Alongside his creative work, he has also been recognised for his contribution to dance education.
A member of the Australian Directors Guild and the German Documentary Association (AG DOK), Alexander is committed to equity, diversity, and inclusive storytelling. Working across cultures and disciplines, he brings an international perspective to his creative work.
