Director Biography - Laura Hermanides

Laura Hermanides (1988) graduated in Directing from the Dutch Film academy in Amsterdam in 2012 with an essayistic documentary portrait of twentysomethings struggling with their lack of idealism (Bring it on, 2012). Her most recent documentary Prove me Wrong was broadcasted in May. She is currently making two long documentaries for Dutch television broadcasters VPRO and KRO-NCRV. Laura just got funded by the Dutch Film Fund to film her second short fiction film, Simone, and for CPH:LAB 2015/2016 she is now working on a conceptual film somewhere between the genres of documentary and fiction.
