'Haal Hem Eruit' ('Get Him Out') 50 min -in production

Teaser 'Haal Hem Eruit' ('Get Him Out') 

Feature length documentary in production.

-In the intimate and poetic documentary 'Get Him Out,' viewers are invited into the raw existence of Djiordjina as she navigates the complexities of shedding her male past to embrace a new identity as a woman. Exploring various layers of her persona, from the embodiment of masculine figures she has identified with to the oppressive forces she must confront, the film offers a multifaceted portrayal of her journey.

'Ik Heb Toch Maar Even Geroepen' ('I Just Called Out For One Last Time')

A short documentary I directed during my third year at the Dutch Film Academy centers on Jan Foudraine, a psychotherapist whose influential book in the seventies disrupted the landscape of medical psychiatry, subsequently rendering him a persona non grata within the field. The documentary chronicles his final literary endeavor before his passing, encapsulated by the poignant sentiment, "I just called out for one last time" (Ik heb toch maar even geroepen).

'Amsterdam Huilt' ('Amsterdam Cries')

'Amsterdam Cries' is a short documentary I crafted during my formative  years at the age of nineteen. It delves into the dynamic transformation  of a neighborhood where I resided at the time, illustrating the stark  divide between the influx of affluent residents, colloquially referred  to as 'yuppies,' and the longstanding local community centered around  the iconic Albertcuyp market. The documentary captures the tensions  arising from conflicts between market vendors, who traverse a roadway  laden with goods for market construction, and cyclists prohibited from  riding in the area. Through this lens, the documentary elucidates the  frustrations directed towards the encroaching gentrification."

'Niet Loslaten' ('Don't Let go')

"Don't Let Go" is a short documentary that immerses viewers in the vibrant ambiance of a Chinese Karaoke bar in Holland, providing a unique window into a cultural phenomenon that transcends geographical borders.


'Warm Water'

Short documentary shot on 16mm about a group of male refugees living together in a car garage in Amsterdam Zuidoost without access to warm water. The female neighbor across the street generously shares her home, particularly her bathroom, where she invites the men one by one to take a hot shower while she washes their clothes.
