Olivier S. Garcia, a graduate in documentary directing from the Film Academy in 2016, embarked on a compelling journey in the world of filmmaking. Post-graduation, he immersed himself in the Kids & Docs workshop, birthing the youth documentary SKIP & THE RHYTHM RANGERS (Witfilm/NTR), a standout selection for the IDFA youth competition. Following this success, Olivier crafted the short documentary TORSO (Tangerine Tree/EO) as part of Teledoc Campus, premiering at the NFF in Utrecht.

Notably, Olivier ventured into the creation of the groundbreaking three-part documentary series GEWOON BOEF for Videoland, produced in collaboration with Newbe. This thought-provoking documentary shattered records as the most-streamed documentary on Videoland.

Collaborating with FunX and the NTR, Olivier contributed to the FunX Awards broadcast, producing videos addressing issues such as senseless violence, feminism, and the Black Lives Matter movement. In a significant partnership with Akwasi Ansah, he directed EEN GAT IN MIJN HART, the first documentary for Omroep Zwart (Yalla docs), exploring the impact of the 1992 plane crash on the children in Amsterdam’s Bijlmer district.

Olivier’s first feature-length documentary, IN BETWEEN THESE MOUNTAINS, a film about his father and brother and the role of masculinity within their family, was released in collaboration with KRO/NCRV and producer mint film office. In addition, his documentary FEIS FOREVER was released in 2025, which Olivier developed together with FUNX/NTR. This film is about Feis, the uncrowned hero of the Rotterdam underground hip-hop scene.

More recently, the documentary GOLDBAND: TOT WE BREKEN was released, a raw, intimate coming-of-age story about finding yourself in the shadows of the spotlight.
