Lienke (b.1995) is a self-taught filmmaker based in the Netherlands. ​​Lienke's approach to filmmaking is deeply personal and immersive. She is committed to living in the worlds of her subjects, constantly questioning her own positionality, and fostering spaces for meaningful dialogue and conversation. Recently, she has begun to push the boundaries of traditional filmmaking by incorporating other senses, aiming to create a more holistic viewing experience.

​

For Lienke, observing, taking the time, and being present are core values in her work. She believes that these principles are essential for truly connecting with her subjects and their stories. She would like to experiment more with collaboration to foster the connections she makes with others in her field. She knows that filmmaking is not a solitary endeavor but a collective one, where diverse perspectives can enrich the narrative and bring a project to life in unexpected ways and enables different ways of (re)presentation.
