Jeremy Steinberger is a filmmaker and journalist whose work explores the politics of belonging. Moving between documentary filmmaking and cultural journalism, he focuses on people who transform unfamiliar environments into spaces of belonging through art, music, and community. Across his projects, he is interested in how identities shaped by migration, exile, and cultural rupture can become the basis for solidarity and collective liberation rather than nationalism.

After reclaiming his family’s German citizenship, he moved to Berlin to develop a film investigating Jewish memory and the contradictions of postwar German remembrance culture. Beginning with his family’s history in a small German town, the project examines how communities construct narratives about the past and how younger generations are renegotiating Jewish identity in relation to them.

Steinberger has directed short documentaries for artists including Willie Nelson and reported on music and culture for Bandcamp Daily, The Austin Chronicle, KUT, and Consequence.
