Artist in Focus: Pieter Coudyzer

Pieter Coudyzer has been making animation for over 25 years, and has been working under the wing of production company S.O.I.L. right from the very beginning. This close collaboration has since resulted in around ten animated films and almost just as many festival appearances in Leuven. Coudyzer made his debut at Kortfilmfestival Leuven in 2003 and is also a regular at the Annecy Animation Festival – where De bramenplukker also premiered. He often draws his inspiration from nature, the animal world and the insect kingdom, but what's most remarkable is his unrivalled world building, which is achieved through an interplay of analogue and digital technique. On 28 November, he will be at the festival for a Q&A after the Belgian premiere of De bramenplukker.
