Biography
Burhan Qurbani is a German-Afghan film director, screenwriter, and actor born in Erkelenz on 15 November 1980. He holds Afghan citizenship. His directorial practice hinges on reimagining canonical texts through contemporary social lenses: Shahada (2010), the TV documentary 20xBrandenburg (2010), and the short Illusion (2007) anchored his early work. His most acclaimed project, a modern-day adaptation of Alfred Döblin's Berlin Alexanderplatz, secured a main-competition slot at the 2020 Berlin International Film Festival. In 2025, he premiered No Beast. So Fierce.—a Shakespearean reworking of Richard III centered on a female protagonist—at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival in the Berlinale Special section on 14 February, with theatrical release scheduled for 8 May 2025. As a screenwriter and actor alongside directing, Qurbani operates across multiple creative registers. His Scorpio nature aligns with his fixation on power, transformation, and moral complexity in source material. Life-path 8 suggests strategic reinvention of canonical narratives into contemporary political statements.
