About Ares

Ares Ceylan was born in Basel (Switzerland) in a Turkish-Italian family, always navigating between three different cultures.
That’s why he’s often interested in genre blends and stories about people, who are trying to find their place in the world.

He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Communication and Film Studies from the University of Zurich and graduated as a director from the Film Academy Baden-Württemberg in Germany.
His short films won several national and international awards and in 2020 he was honored with the Swiss Television Treatment Award for his first feature length project.

He’s based in Basel and Berlin, where he’s working as a writer & director.
