Stephen Hosier is a Canadian filmmaker based in Toronto.
For eight years, Hosier worked within the Olympic movement, producing films and telling the stories of some of Canada’s most celebrated athletes across multiple Olympic Games.
His documentary work often explores mental health, addiction, homelessness and the complexities of human relationships. His feature directorial debut, Attila (2024), follows his childhood friend Richard Csanyi as they investigate the life and death of Richard’s twin brother, Attila, who experienced homelessness while living with schizophrenia and opioid addiction. The film premiered at Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema as a special presentation on World Mental Health Day and is currently streaming on Crave. The Globe and Mail wrote, “Hosier’s debut feature-length doc, Attila, heralds an immensely promising and uncompromising talent.”
Hosier’s short films include The Man Who Walks Backwards (2021), which follows Marty, a Toronto man living with schizophrenia who hopes to one day reunite with his children. The film was released on Bell Let’s Talk Day in association with the Schizophrenia Society of Canada.
Hosier is also a board member of Workman Arts, Canada’s leading multidisciplinary arts organization dedicated to advancing artistic practice and dialogue around mental health and addiction.
