Tuschinski assisted Hugo Niebeling in restoring and re-editing B7, Niebeling's director's cut of his 1972 film showing the Berlin Philharmonic performing Beethoven's seventh symphony conducted by Herbert von Karajan. Niebeling and Tuschinski together edited Niebeling's short film Apotheosis of Dance from the last movement of the symphony. Tuschinski produced his own experimental short film Gold., which set the last movement of Beethoven's seventh symphony to images of nature and decay. Gold. won the "Golden Pelican" award at Mykonos Biennale in 2015.

In 2018, Tuschinski's research into Tinto Brass's work on Caligula was examined in his feature documentary Mission: Caligula, which premiered in Los Angeles.

2020–date

In 2021, Tuschinski produced, filmed, directed and edited the feature-length documentary Statue of Liberty about Tomas Kurth (known as vanderkurth) and his quest to build a "Statue of Liberty of Stuttgart" during lockdown. Statue of Liberty screened together with Fetzenleben and the second instalment of Die Liedermacherin von Botnang at Filmschau Baden-Württemberg in December 2022.

In 2022, Tuschinski self-published a documentary Whisper and Laugh (Flüstern und Lachen) on his own YouTube channel; it portrays German protest singer Yann Song King, the peaceful protests in Germany during the COVID-19 pandemic and the treatment of "unvaccinated" people. In March 2023, Whisper and Laugh screened in competition at Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival at Regal Cinemas at L.A. Live, together with Tuschinski's short film "Vigil" (Mahnwache) about a healthcare-workers' demonstration in Berlin. Eugen Zentner considers Whisper and Laugh as part of 2020s German counter-culture.
