Christian Filips ((*)1981 in Osthofen) is a poet, director and music dramaturge.

In his lyrical texts, he mixes sociolects, dialects, and technical languages and turns primarily to historically conscious themes. His first volume of poetry Schluck auf Stein was awarded the Rimbaud Prize of the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation in 2001.

Christian Filips also approaches his poetic works with performative forms and creates social sculptures. Since 2013 he has been working on productions of operas, social sculptures and on various folk stages, including for the Berlin Volksbühne.
