Julia Roeselers

Julia Roeselers is a self-taught documentary-maker and visual artist rolled into one. She particularly enjoys making documentaries about controversial social issues and strives to adopt a multidisciplinary approach when portraying them. For example, she made a film in collaboration with the Dutch poet laureate Babs Gons, in which her beautiful spoken word accompanied the film.

She has also previously worked with animation in documentaries and is currently working on a film in which puppetry will feature. For this project, she is directing the documentary, making the clay puppets herself and collaborating with cartoonist and filmmaker Guido van Driel on the set design. In addition, she creates comic-style illustrations: both personal work and posters and flyers for accessible, cultural and community-based initiatives.
