Jonas Luyckx was born in 1979. After studying visual art, he worked as a production assistant on feature films and documentaries for several years before starting his own production company, La Film Fabrique, in 2005. As producer and director for seven years, he made features, music videos, educational projects and artist profiles, always striving to give a particular form to his productions.

Luyckx also established the first music video festival in Belgium, Clip That Beat, to create bridges between the music and the audiovisual sectors. A travelling festival that moves from theatre to theatre throughout the country, the festival opened its doors in November 2012.

He joined the Paracommand'art label, developing skills and producing interdisciplinary projects with non-professionals from the sociocultural domain. During this time, he collaborated with visual artist Werner Moron, focusing on the artist’s works that are outside the norm and between forms.

Before leaving La Film Fabrique, he directed a staged reading of a work by Charlotte Delbo, survivor of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. An intersection between words, music, sound composition and set design, the show has been touring Belgium since 2012.

At the end of 2012, he started a new production company, White Market, which focuses on creative documentaries, experimental films and educational projects that take art into settings it normally doesn’t reach. Concurrently, he also joined the Zététique Theater troupe, a theatre company that has been producing educational projects for youth for almost thirty years. With the company, he set up Les brise-lames [Breakwaters], a web plateform to create art-connexions between young people from different countries all over the world. Since then, he has made various documentaries and experimental films, both as director and as producer.
