Isis Varlack 




My name is Isis, I’m a Dutch artist from Nijmegen working mainly in film and currently studing at the Willem the Kooning Academy in Rotterdam.

Driven by the belief that visual records can be more reliable than human memory, I like to capture moments and stories. I question everything I hear, trying to look at multiple perspectives. Through documentary I hope to share questions, concerning mostly sociological themes, inviting the viewer to look critically at the world around us. 

During my studies, I also developed a growing interest in fiction filmmaking. Writing and Editing are what draw me most, but I’m also learning producing and directing, which are roles I think suit me well. Comedy is a big love of mine and it’s the genre in which I most want want to develop as a writer. 
Television interests me, as a source of inspiration and as a place where documentary and comedy can reach a broad audience and make people think and laugh.

I’m constantly trying to grow. Every project teaches me something new about the subject, the craft and myself, and I take that with me into the next one. I’m always open to collaboration where care, fun and learning from eachother are central.
