Life
In the 1980s and 1990s, he made a name for himself primarily as an auteur filmmaker in the successor to “ Junge Deutsche Films ”. He also made experimental films such as Guide Through the World and Leitmotiv . Several projects reflect the effects of the then current political situation in the lifelines of everyday people: Wedding , Who is Afraid of Red-Yellow-Blue? and everything is a lie .

criticism
“Schier shows (...) intelligent films about Germany, precise, entertaining and ironic, and above all: easy. (...) Heiko Schier makes films about life paths: how you became, what you are, how you make decisions in certain situations and where that leads. In his films you learn something about love, about music, about being together and being abandoned and about money, and how it all works together and results in 'the world'. "
