Beryl Koltz

Après des études de cinéma à Paris et Bruxelles, Beryl Koltz écrit et réalise des courts-métrages et documentaires. La thématique sous-jacente de son travail peut être perçue comme une analyse de l'Individu en marge de la Société, que ce soit à travers une démarche consciente comme dans l'Art (portraits d'artistes) ou du fait d’un état involontaire, allant de l'exclusion sociale (Un camp dans la Ville, réalisé pour Médecins Sans Frontières) à l'isolement psychique (Ëmweer, Your Chicken Died of Hunger, Starfly). Elle vit et travaille actuellement entre Luxembourg et Paris. Beryl est né en 1974.
