Douwe Dijkstra (b. 1984, The Netherlands) is a filmmaker and visual artist, operating in a mixture of video, animation and VFX. His projects range from short films and documentaries to video installations and theatre performances.
He moves freely and playfully in a meta-area he has hammered out on his own, a narrative style that crosses the traditional boundaries between documentary and fiction, essay and experiment. With an underlying social engagement, he employs his intrinsic humor to disarm and get under the skin of people, to deliver playful treatments of at times difficult subjects.

Project info

During his residency at MQ Douwe will follow up on the research he did in São Paulo during his residency there at the Museum of Image and Sound; to use observations in public space to create new narratives, with a special focus on Vienna's many monuments and statues.
Moving away from the post production tool of chroma keying he now aims to explore the use of a telephoto lens as his main tool. Using the opportunities of this residency to further explore working outside the studio and the application of the camera's eye in public and spontaneous situations.
