Alongside my directing work, I work as a cinematographer on feature documentaries by other directors.

For Zelovic Film, I shot substantial parts of two feature documentaries: Home Game by Lidija Zelovic and Glass, My Unfulfilled Life by Rogier Kappers.

Both films are built around the directors themselves. They shoot much of the material on their own, which is part of the language of the films. I join them for selected parts of the production, bringing an outside eye while working within the intimacy and visual approach they have already established.

Home Game is Lidija Zelovic’s essay film about displacement, family and political change, built from footage filmed over decades, and later broadcast by HUMAN (NPO 2). The film was awarded at international festivals, including Movies That Matter.

Glass, My Unfulfilled Life is Rogier Kappers’ self-portrait, following his pursuit of a childhood dream to become a musician on the glass organ, a process unfolding over several years. The film premiered at IDFA and went on to win the Golden Alexander at the Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival.

I’m currently working with Rogier Kappers again on a new project.
