Lukas Dhont

Lukas Dhont is a Belgian director, born in Ghent in 1991.
Lukas Dhont is one of the new faces of the young Flemish artistic  avant garde. He studied film at the KASK in Ghent, creating  internationally renowned short films, both fiction and non-fiction  (documentaries and music videos). His work focuses on bodies and their  performances, entering into conversation with the dance world (with  choreographers Jan Martens and Sidi Larbi Cherakaoui), music (from Oscar  & The Wolf to Sylvie Kreusch) and fashion (in 2020, he collaborated  with Chanel as well as the Azzaro fashion house). His first feature  film, Girl, revealed him to a wider audience. A moving portrait  of a transgender ballerina, the film won multiple awards in Cannes and  was nominated at the Oscars in 2018. Elegant and energetic, spectacular  and sensitive, his films stage individuals in the throes of  metamorphosis: in adolescence, through the quest for gender and  sexuality or art. He is currently preparing his second feature.
