Director

Beatrijs Hulskes

She made several video installations, worked as a director for many television programs, and started work on her first independent film in 1991. Beatrijs Hulskes developed a style that combines cut-out animation with live action and object animation. Combined with the use of bright colors it evokes a fairy-tale and dream-like feeling.
