Sabine Lubbe Bakker

Born in 1978. Graduated from Political Sciences in 2005. Recent 5 main activities (personal exhibitions, group exhibitions, concerts) are 'Hotel Europe' broadcasted in April 2013, 'Power to People' broadcasted in 2012, 'Between Egypt and Gaza' broadcasted in 2011, 'Shout' premiered in 2010.My first film "Shout" was 75 minutes and in co-direction with Ester Gould. The film opened the Dox Box festival in Damascus in 2010 and won Best Film at the London Documentary Film Festival and a special mention at the Haiffa Film Festival. My 50 minutes tv documentaries have been sold to several countries such as Japan, Spain, and Austria.

In general I think I could say I make two types of work: there are films a make that have a clear purpose or a message, yet in these works I still try to create a sense of intimacy and nuance. These are mostly commissioned work. The second type are projects I Iive and breath for a couple of years. These films are cinematic and are character driven. Here I try to exclude any unnecessary information. And to look for its purest form of storytelling.
