As a filmmaker, Halaczinsky earned his first critical acclaim as an associate producer for Calling the Ghosts (1996), for which in 1997 he won an ACE award for International Informational Special or Series. The documentary details the experience of Nusreta Sivac and Jadranka Cigelj at the Bosnian Serb-run Omarska camp in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Bosnian War.

In 2004, his film "Don't Call it Heimweh" about Holocaust survivor Margot Friedlander premiered at the Woodstock Film Festival. In 2005, it was chosen as the opening film at the Jewish Film Festival in Berlin. The film also got attention by American psychoanalyst Roger Frie, who cites Halaczinsky's view in an essay in "Psychoanalytic Psychology" in 2012. Halaczinsky revisited the film's subject and protagonist a couple of years later, resulting in the follow-up documentary "A long Way home" (2010), which the international broadcaster Deutsche Welle first aired in 2010, simoultaneously in German, English, Spanish and Arabic.
