Welcome back Hannah van Tassel!

Hannah van Tassel is an award-winning documentary filmmaker based in the Netherlands.

Her films are often described as poetic documentaries, and deal with topics that are ubiquitous but intangible: she has previously made films about sleep and insomnia, about memories and loss.

Nature and art, and their relationship, always play a role in her work. Her latest short documentary, Letters to Vincent, is a portrait of the psychiatric hospital in the South of France where Vincent van Gogh spent a year, and premiered in 2024 at Sheffield DocFest.

Since 2023, she has visited Svalbard several times to work on a film that deals with the landscape and the role it plays in people’s life, as an environment that records change, memories and loss.
