Daniel Sterlin-Altman (he/him) is Canadian animation filmmaker based in Berlin, Germany. Specialising in stop-motion animation techniques, Daniel is a storyteller with an eye for nuance and emotion, with works exploring family, sexuality, and identity through a range of genre. Combining camp, absurdity, comedy and realism, his works ressemble a world at once subdued and wild.

An MFA holder in Animation Direction from the Filmuniversity Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF in Potsdam, Daniel has directed several independent short films as well as commissioned works that have displayed and won awards in festivals worldwide, including Filmfest Dresden, Ottawa International Animation Festival, Annecy International Animation, and Outfest Los Angeles LGBT Film Festival. He is also an active collaborator with the intersectional queer collective, Critical Queer Solidarity, and facilitates politically-minded animation workshops throughout Germany.
