Biography
Annelien Nijland (1988) graduated as a fiction director from the Utrecht School of the Arts. Her work has since focused on documentary photography, exploring people and the worlds they move in. With In My Body, she returns to film, bringing that same direct and character-driven approach to the screen.

From the Judges, on In My Body
Handheld camerawork keeps the film close to its subject, raw and intimate without ever intruding, and the sound design builds real tension inside a short runtime. Stripped of sit-down interviews and voiceover, it stays in the moment and lets a character study emerge on its own terms. The panel found it compelling and wanted more of the world it opens up.
