LUCIËNNE VENNER, Baexem (1989)
Luciënne is a queer artist from Limburg who's films revolves around themes of desire and female queer identity, captured through analogue film. With her work, Luciënne delves into the her fascination by the idea of a personal transformation in a Dionysian state of ecstasy. Through her films, she creates a queertopian realm and strives for inclusivity.
Her films have garnered recognition and acclaim at well-respected events like Art Rotterdam and Brooklyn Film Festival, earning her awards such as 'Best Art Film' at the Nahia Film Festival in Spain, 'Best Experimental Film' at Porto Femme in Portugal, and the 'Right of Speech award' at the Babel Film Festival in Italy.
In late 2023, filmmaker Luciënne was selected as the only representative from the Netherlands to participate in the 2023 Apichatpong Weerasethakul Playlab in Yucatán. Following this, she received an invitation from the Casa Snowapple MX Artist Residency to spend six months in Mexico, where she created her latest short film She Moves Me (2024). The production of her projects has been supported by prestigious institutions such as the Netherlands Film Fund, Limburgs Film Fund, Mondriaan Fund, Amsterdam Fund for the Arts, and Sardegna Film Commission.
