Facilitators 

Mieke Bernink has been Head of Research (Lector/Professor) at the Netherlands Film Academy since 2008, when she was invited to set up a Master’s programme. Alongside her continuing interest in the combination of artistic research and pedagogy, her focus as Head of Research is also on creating the possibilities for makers, teachers and students to understand, develop and share their practices as research.

Stanislaw Liguzinski is Research Coordinator at the Netherlands Film Academy, co-director of the Essay Film Studio of Łódź Film School in Poland, and the head VR programmer of Imagine Film Festival. As a graduate of programmes in media, film and critical theory but also the Master of Film at the Academy, he combines both practice and theory to develop credible forms of practice-based research in XR and film. 

Cristiana Strava is an Assistant Professor in the School of Middle Eastern Studies at Leiden University. She was trained as a visual anthropologist at Harvard where she was part of the Sensory Ethnography Lab, and received her PhD from SOAS, University of London. Her multimodal work sits uncomfortably at the intersection of ethnography, Marxist geography, and studies of the (post/colonial) state.

Eliane Esther Bots is a Dutch filmmaker and visual artist based in The Hague. She mostly works within the realm of documentary film, sometimes expanding this into installation, performance, audio works and publications. Eliane recently joined the core team of the Master’s in Artistic Research in and through Cinema at the Academy of which she is an alumna. 

Sabina Mikelić is a visual artist, filmmaker, educator, and tutor at the Master Kunsteducatie, ArtEZ. She is an alumna of the Master’s in Artistic Research in and through Cinema. As a multimedia artist working with drawing, photography, installations, performances and film, her practice revolves around questions about family, identity, belief systems, and social interaction. Her work has been shown and rewarded widely.
