Meltse Van Coillie

Meltse graduated from KASK, School of Arts Ghent in 2018 with the hybrid short elephantfish. Her graduation film screened at numerous international filmfestivals and received a Wildcard from the Flemish Film Fund. The awarded production budget resulted in a second short, Zonder Meer, which had its international premiere at Berlinale in 2021. In co-direction with Harm Dens, she made a third short in 2022 called Nocturnus, which was shot during the polar night in Greenland. Set in the same area, she is currently developing her first feature film, Torpor, which got selected for the Cinéfondation Residency organized by the Film Festival of Cannes.
Jana's artistic practice is somewhere between that of an experimental filmmaker and a visual artist. Seeking to make room for complex emotions and experiences, she looks for new narratives to define relationships and events. "Jana Coorevits delves into the relation between monads, atoms, and the everyday materials we encounter, focussing on the body as immediate matter in our interactions. This emphasis on physicality is coupled with an exploration of space for the female experience. In recent work she downsizes substantial elements (for example the moon), reintroducing a vulnerability to what’s cosmic and sparking a different way of observing and experiencing."

Lydia Hannah Debeer graduated in Fine Arts in 2014 and obtained a postgraduate at the HISK in 2016.

Ans is a visual artist investigating the intersection of time, film and exhibition space. Her work shows that time, perhaps more than space, is the ultimate subject of attention: time captured, time chased. Arranged, erased, wasted. Leisurely spent, unspectacularly passed. She is currently working on her Ph.D. in artistic research at LUCA School of Arts.
