About
CINDY JANSEN (Veghel, NL, 1976) Lives and works in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Cindy Jansen’s educational background includes graduation from the Academy of Visual Arts in Arnhem (Netherlands) and Milan (Italy), as well as completion of the International Script Development and Directors Program at the Binger Filmlab in Amsterdam (Netherlands). Her works have been presented at numerous national and international film festivals, including Hamburg, Rotterdam, and Edinburgh. In addition, her videos and photographic works have been featured in both group and solo exhibitions such as Loop '05 in Barcelona (Spain), the Noorderlicht Photo Festival in Groningen (Netherlands), and the Gerhard Hofland Gallery in Amsterdam.
Her body of work ranges from fiction shorts, experimental videos to feature-length documentaries, consistently characterized by a cinematic precision and contemplative rhythm. Through works such as Don’t Hit Me I Love You, With Love, and Auld Lang Syne (IFFR 2015, Golden Calf nomination), Jansen explores the psychological and social layers of human relationships. This exploration reaches a wider scope in Prince of Muck (2021), which premiered at the Edinburgh International Film Festival and later at IDFA, and was released in Dutch cinemas, broadcast by the BBC, and made available globally via Amazon Prime Video. Her latest film Sovereign Son, which had its Dutch premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam (2026), follows Marcus as he searches for his own identity through a father he never knew. The film will be released in Dutch cinemas in September 2026.
