Silence Undone

In order to fully embrace a loving relationship for the first time in her life, an emotionally closed woman delves deep into her subconscious to overcome the deep-rooted fears and paralysing shame from her past. This is a story about the horror of abuse, but even more it’s about the importance of self-acceptance and strength in vulnerability. It is based on a true story.

The People Of No Man's Land

​'The People Of No Man's Land' is a 25 minute exclusive reportage, which takes the viewer on a journey inside Al-Rukban camp.
This is an unofficial and unsupported refugee camp between the borders of Syria and Jordan. No other journalist or media platform has ever had access here.

​It's an emotional journey that connects feelings of hopelessness with hope and the determination to survive. This documentary doesn't only show us the political situation, but it aims to give a human perspective to a crisis that previously only has been discussed from outside.  Leaving us with just one question: Where is the humanity?

Watch Over Me

'Watch Over Me' is originally a One-minute film. It deals with the digital confession of a drone operator for the army. Exploring the role of technology in our lives, questioning how far we can go with outsourcing certain activities - in this case spirituality but also the act of war and killing.

Are advancements still advancements if they detach us from what makes us human?

Disremember Me

​

---

'Disremember Me' is an experimental film. A personal project about the reciprocity of loss and reconnecting with memories.
Using film as a way to understand how perception shifts in these moments of pain and healing.
​
​But this too, shall pass.
