Mieke Bernink has been Head of Research (Lector) at the Netherlands Film Academy since September 2008, when she was invited to set up a Master’s programme at the Film Academy. She thus founded the international 2-year research Master ‘Artistic Research in and through Cinema’, which she led until September 2021.
Alongside her continuing interest in the combination of artistic research and pedagogy – how to teach artistic research? – 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.
As Lector, Mieke Bernink is also the head of the Artist in Residence programme of the Amsterdam University of the Arts.
Before joining the Film Academy, Mieke Bernink was policy advisor for film and media education at the Netherlands Council for Culture, while starting her career in the field of film as chief editor of the Dutch journal for film and visual culture, Skrien. Prior to bidding farewell to the academic world, she studied philosophy and psychology.
