Hi there! Welcome to my site. My name is An and I am a filmmaker and photographer.

​

Having studied anthropology and media studies at Utrecht University College, I am interested in a wide range of topics such as LGBTQ+ identities and communities, migration and diaspora, themes surrounding race, intersectionality, environmental matters, and anything else that might present itself as a topic to be urgently addressed in a cinematic format.

​

Film, to me, is a powerful yet new tool of mass communication, of which its capabilities are still vastly unexplored. It is a tool of worldmaking, a tool to voice unspoken narratives, and yet also a tool to censor and silence. A tool that is becoming democratic more and more. To me, film is a way to seeing this world, an attempt to make sense out of it. It is a way to create something that evokes and interacts with this strange place we live in.
