The Broken Femur

Jonas Luyckx was born in 1979. After studying visual art, he worked as a assistant camera, 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.

In 2009, 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.

He 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.

At the end of 2012, he left La Film Fabrique and Clip That Beat to start 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 created in 1986 that has been producing educational projects for youth. It is within this framework that it is setting up an international platform for the dissemination and archiving of young people's voices: Les brise-lames (The Breakwaters).

At the same time, he continues to develop various documentaries and experimental films, both as a director and as a producer.
