Director Biography - Ines Vansteenkiste-Muylle

Ines Vansteenkiste-Muylle was born in 1997 in Leuven, where she grew up in a divorced family. Her Mother gave her the human interest and her father took her into the art and fashion world.

Ines graduated in 2019 at Luca School of Arts in Brussels as photographer. She won the Graduation contest of De Morgen in 2018 with Crossroads in Springtime which you could see in FOMU Antwerp and Yugen Kambucha Ghent. One year later she was shortlisted for the Unseen Dummy award Amsterdam with Grits/Grids and Conversations. A master project about an Afro-American family which contained video and photography and you could see at Recyclart Brussels and Les Rencontres d'Arles.

Ines' curiosity leads her in her work: talking to people, connecting with them and photographing them is very important for her. Many of her inspirations lay in film, that's why she directed her first short movie in 2021. Most of her artistic works have one theme in common: community and what is it about.
