ANNE VERBEURE
After obtaining a Master's degree in Art History at Ghent University, Anne Verbeure immersed herself in film studies. She studied Script Writing and Film Direction at RITCS Brussels, after which she switched to the Animation Film MA track at the School of Arts | University College Ghent (KASK). In the medium of animation, she found a way to connect theoretical research with a artistic practice. She mainly focuses on drawn animation on paper, but she likes to experiment with all kinds of forms and materials. She graduated with the award-winning short film RED GIANT, for which she was awarded the 2021 Flanders Audiovisual Fund | VAF Wild Card. Her debut film THE GOLDEN DONKEY was shown at film festivals internationally including Film Fest Gent, ANIMA, Go Short, Anifilm, Fest Anca, Anibar, La Guarimba, Fantoche, Ars Independent, New Chitose and LIAFF, among others. A SLEEPING FIRE is her second professional film.
