Director Biography - Marcel Prins

Marcel Prins (born 1962) is a Dutch documentary filmmaker. He combines a cinematic eye with a deep interest in personal and historical narratives and an eye for detail. His recent film City of Desire delves into the tension between longing, belonging, and urban transformation and has been screened at several international film festivals. Prins also directed A Forgotten Exodus, a documentary examining the displacement of Jews from Arab countries after 1948, and Forget Your Name, a documentary about Jewish children in hiding during World War II in the Netherlands. Earlier in his career, Prins co-created the cross-media project Hidden Like Anne Frank, which tells the stories of Jewish children who went into hiding during World War II. The project, which began as an interactive online documentary, became an award-winning international bestseller and was widely praised for its innovative approach to historical storytelling. In addition to filmmaking, Marcel Prins works as a photographer and directs television programs, combining visual storytelling across multiple media platforms. He lives and works in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
