Director, actor, musician

Ari Gold is an American filmmaker, actor and musician whose work is distinguished by a singular approach, blending absurdist humor, visual poetry and the exploration of identity through music. His feature films Adventures of Power (2008) and The Song of Sway Lake (2018) brilliantly illustrate this artistic vision.

Integrating music as a central narrative thread, reflecting his own journey as a musician. Ari Gold explores profound themes such as the quest for self, mourning and redemption, which he treats with a sensibility that blends absurdity and lyricism. This approach gives his work a dimension that is both intimate and universal.

His new film, Brother Verses Brother, produced by Francis Ford Coppola, had its world premiere on March 9, 2025 at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas. This project confirms the singularity of his vision and his formal audacity, continuing a deeply personal and inventive body of work.
