In 2001, a large audience took notice of Veiel's documentary Black Box BRD, in which he is bringing the biographies of Alfred Herrhausen, chairman of the Deutsche Bank and his suspected assassin and Red Army Fraction (RAF) member Wolfgang Grams face to face.

In 2012 Veiel interviewed current and former executive board members from various leading banks. Based on this research, he wrote the theater play Das Himbeerreich (The Raspberry Empire) looking behind the curtain of the financial system, showing personal motives and professional constraints of financial players. Himbeerreich premiered at the Staatstheater Stuttgart and at the Deutsches Theater in Berlin in January 2013.{{cite web|url=http://www.deutschestheater.de/english/schedule/the_raspberry_empire/ |title=Deutsches Theater Berlin - The Raspberry Empire (Das Himbeerreich) |publisher=Deutschestheater.de |date=16 January 2013 |accessdate=18 June 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714214259/http://www.deutschestheater.de/english/schedule/the_raspberry_empire/ |archivedate=14 July 2014 }}

In February 2017, Veiel's cinema documentary Beuys celebrated its premiere at the competition of the Berlin International Film Festival. With Beuys, Veiel succeeds in bringing the first cinema documentary about Joseph Beuys, one of the most controversial artists of the 20th century, onto the big screen.{{Cite web|url=http://pinakothek-beuys-multiples.de/en/joseph-beuys/|title=The multiples of Joseph Beuys|website=The multiples of Joseph Beuys|language=en-US|access-date=22 January 2018}} During the three-year development period, Veiel conducted more than 60 interviews with contemporary witnesses of Beuys and viewed 400 hours of archival footage, went through 300 hours of audio footage and more than 20,000 photographs.{{Cite web|url=http://www.dw.com/en/why-avant-garde-german-artist-joseph-beuys-politics-remain-relevant-to-this-day/a-38893951|title=Why avant-garde German artist Joseph Beuys' politics remain relevant to this day {{!}} Film {{!}} DW {{!}} 19 May 2017|last=(www.dw.com)|first=Deutsche Welle|website=DW.COM|language=en|access-date=22 January 2018}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.theabstractnews.com/2018/01/interview-with-beuys-director-andres.html|title=Interview with 'Beuys' director Andres Veiel|website=www.theabstractnews.com|access-date=22 January 2018}} The film consists of 90% of archival footage, many of which has been published for the first time.{{Cite news|url=https://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwtv/article/BEUYS-Documentary-Portrait-of-Joseph-Beuys-Has-US-Theatrical-Premiere-117-20180102|title=BEUYS, Documentary Portrait of Joseph Beuys, Has U.S. Theatrical Premiere 1/17|author=BWW News Desk|access-date=22 January 2018|language=en}} Veiel does not try to explain Beuys by the means of a classical biography, but his use of the archival footage rather “allows the viewer to not only enter the time and space that the artwork was developed in, but experience its conception and creation alongside the artist himself.” {{Cite web|url=http://cineuropa.org/nw.aspx?t=newsdetail&did=323306|title=Beuys : A celebratory tribute to a celebrated artist|website=Cineuropa - the best of european cinema|access-date=22 January 2018}} Veiel is particularly interested in Beuys' extended concept of art as a social sculpture, which anticipates today's demands for basic income and a democratization of the financial and monetary system.{{Cite web|url=http://www.theabstractnews.com/2018/01/interview-with-beuys-director-andres.html|title=Interview with 'Beuys' director Andres Veiel|website=www.theabstractnews.com|access-date=22 January 2018}}

Beuys received positive reactions. It’s described to be the film of record and “the most extensive revisiting of Beuys’s art and life for a general public.” {{Cite web|url=https://www.theartnewspaper.com/review/beuys-the-myth-more-than-the-artist-explained-in-new-documentary|title=Beuys the myth, more than the artist, explained in new documentary|website=www.theartnewspaper.com|date=21 February 2017 |access-date=22 January 2018}} “The documentary Beuys will not only offer a psychological portrait of the man, but chronicle the many ways he sought to reverse the effects of our repressive social systems — and how his breakthroughs continue to influence artists today."{{Cite news|url=https://hyperallergic.com/412830/joseph-beuys-documentary-trailer-exclusive/|title=Finally, a Joseph Beuys Documentary|date=21 November 2017|work=Hyperallergic|access-date=22 January 2018|language=en-US}} Furthermore it’s pointed out that both of Beuys’ “most recognizable and less emblematic works come alive on screen thanks to the inventive ways in which the director dives into the moments depicted in still pictures of the era, while his use of archival footage of Beuys’ installations proves to be a transportive decision."{{Cite web|url=http://cineuropa.org/nw.aspx?t=newsdetail&did=323306|title=Beuys : A celebratory tribute to a celebrated artist|website=Cineuropa - the best of european cinema|access-date=22 January 2018}} The US - theatrical release of Beuys started on 17 January 2018 and was again well received: The village voice acknowledges that "the engaging Beuys avoids the typical pitfalls of documentaries and that Veiel’s refreshingly open-ended approach invites you to find your own answers" {{Cite news|url=https://www.villagevoice.com/2018/01/17/the-engaging-beuys-avoids-the-typical-pitfalls-of-documentaries/|title=The Engaging "Beuys" Avoids the Typical Pitfalls of Documentaries|access-date=22 January 2018}} while Glenn Kenny from the New York Times defines Beuys as "an exhilarating portrait of a unique truth-teller.

In 2017, Veiel together with the author Jutta Doberstein and in cooperation with the Deutsches Theater Berlin and the Humboldt Forum initiated WHICH FUTURE?!, a two-year interdisciplinary, participatory research and theatre project, dedicated to drafting a fictional, yet evidence-based scenario for the next ten years. With international scientists, artists and the audience meeting in workshops, laboratories and plenary sessions, Which Future?! explored the correlation between knowledge, prediction and design and condensed scenarios for the future development of the financial system, the economy, the climate, food production and work into a jointly developed narrative looking at the years 2018 to 2028. The results were merged into a play that premiered at the Deutsches Theater in September 2018: Let them eat money. Which Future?!{{Cite web |last=Goldmann |first=A.J. |date=November 11, 2018 |title=German Plays Tackle the World’s Woes, Current and Future |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/21/theater/german-plays-social-issues-deutsches-theater-muenchner-kamerspiele.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181122090920/https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/21/theater/german-plays-social-issues-deutsches-theater-muenchner-kamerspiele.html |archive-date=November 22, 2018 |access-date=December 22, 2024 |website=The New York Times}}

The play was mainly well received and regarded as „an engrossing drama that skillfully avoids preaching or propagandizing” with special recognition for the script, which “does a fine job dramatizing the complex ideas developed during the workshops, explaining complex hypothetical economic and political scenarios in clever and nuanced ways.”

In his German TV movie Ökozid (Ecocide) from 2020, Veiel stages a court drama, as low-key as it is spectacular. The year 2034: The consequences of the climate catastrophe are dramatic. Drought and floods destroy the livelihoods of millions of people. The climate change and the ongoing catastrophe becomes the subject of legal proceedings at the International Court of Justice. Two lawyers represent 31 countries of the global South, which are doomed to destruction without the support of the international community, they raise questions of responsibility, demand compensation and a right of nature to integrity in order to ensure their own survival. High-ranking representatives from politics and industry are invited as witnesses. The court must decide whether German policymakers are to be held accountable for their failure to protect the climate and thus set a precedent for climate justice. {{Cite web |title=Ökozid |url=https://www.zeroone.de/en/movies/oekozid/ |access-date=2024-08-18 |website=zero one film |language=en-US}}

Veiel`s latest film Riefenstahl is considered as a captivating insight into the private estate of Leni Riefenstahl, who became world-famous with her Nazi propaganda film "Triumph of the Will" but kept denying any closer ties to the regime. Riefenstahl's aesthetics are more present than ever today - but is that also true for their implied message? The film examines this question using documents from Riefenstahl's estate, including private films, photos, recordings and letters. It uncovers fragments of her biography and places them in an extended historical context.{{Cite web |title=Riefenstahl |url=https://www.betacinema.com/138/pid/328/Riefenstahl.htm |access-date=2024-08-18 |website=www.betacinema.com}}
