Carice van Heusden is a young filmmaker from the Netherlands who currently resides in Brussels. Her passion for film was ignited at an early age, inspired by the power of storytelling and the visual possibilities inherent in the medium. This profound appreciation for cinema ultimately led her to Brussels, where she has further developed her creativity and immersed herself in the world of film at the RITCS School of Arts.
In my work, I focus on the female perspective and the ongoing search for the meaning of the female gaze, as well as the psychological influence this search has on the subjective viewing experience. I use a research-based methodology, which I then translate into cinematic work, drawing inspiration from the subjective nature of film. This gives my films a more experimental and surrealistic character, resulting in intimate works that explore the complexity of the human psyche and human relationships. Beyond the discipline of film, I aspire to break open the defined boundaries between different art forms, with a keen interest in theatre and visual arts and the ways these can be interwoven.
Besides developing her voice as an author, she has held various roles within different disciplines, including assistant director, screenwriter, and positions in the art department. After completing several distinctive short films during her studies, her most recent project is Medusa is Not Dead, She Is Many, a video installation and a feminist exploration of the myth of Medusa.
