Dorothea Pilz (*1991) is a Berlin based cinematographer, available across Europe. Her portfolio includes fiction, documentaries, commercials, experimental films and music videos, screened at international festivals across Europe and the Americas.

I love what I do. I shoot films which ask honest questions, don’t pretend to have all the answers, and find beauty where things get a little rough around the edges.

As a cinematographer, I care deeply about craft — not just lenses or lighting (though I’ll happily talk about those for hours), but about what makes a moment feel real. Emotional precision, focused visual storytelling, and keeping things human — that’s what guides me, both on screen and on set.

I’m drawn to stories that are grounded, imaginative, and just the right amount of weird. Because I believe film can shift perspectives. And that truth, told with heart and intention, can move us forward.
