His graduation project, the short film IJsland (2009), was screened in the prestigious Cin\u00e9fondation section at the Cannes Film Festival and won multiple awards.

In 2017, Coulier made his feature film debut with Cargo, a drama set in the rough Flemish fishing community, which premiered at the San Sebasti\u00e1n Film Festival. The film gained international recognition, being featured at the BFI London Film Festival, the Thessaloniki Film Festival, and the G\u00f6teborg Film Festival. Coulier also directed the acclaimed thriller series De Dag and in 2019 directed the first four episodes of the international series War of the Worlds for Fox and Canal+.

Following this unexpected success, the film embarks on a journey around the world, grabbing 13 prizes and 50 international selections. A few years later, his latest film \u2018Billy the Bully\u2019, took the prize for best short at the Amiens film festival. In 2020 he released his series \u2018Albatros\u2019 which he co-conceived, co-wrote and directed. \u2018Albatros\u2019 received only excellent reviews and was picked up internationally by sales agent Wild Bunch TV. In 2021 the series won the the Prix Europa for Best European tv-series. Typical of Wannes\u2019 work is the focus on the dramatic value of \u2018small\u2019 stories where deeply human problems and disappointments lie behind. Often laced with humour.

She studied linguistics and literature at the University of Antwerp and began her career in theatre, working as a dramaturg for, among others, Toneelhuis, Theater Zuidpool, and the company JAN, which she co-founded with actor Peter Seynaeve. During her years in theatre, she worked on projects by makers such as Luk Perceval, Olympique Dramatique, Josse De Pauw, Jan Decorte, and many others.\n\nAns has a fascination with life stories and a passion for psychology. For more than twenty years, her writing has appeared in various magazines, and in January 2020 her debut novel Moederziel was published by Polis. A year later came her second book, Van geboren worden ga je dood. Both novels were warmly received by press and public alike, opening the door to new opportunities.\n\nAns took her first steps as a screenwriter in 2021, working on the creation of Assisen: de balletmoord for broadcaster Play4, and was subsequently asked to write three further seasons of the successful fiction series (Assisen: de insulinemoord, Assisen: de internaatmoord, and Assisen: de influencermoord).\n\nIn addition, Ans collaborated with actress Natali Broods on a deeply personal project. Their screenplay for the feature film Deux Vies (produced by Menuetto) received production support from the VAF in 2025 and is being adapted into a film directed by Teodora Ana Mihai. Ans and Natali also co-hosted the podcast Falen is een optie for De Morgen.\n\nAns currently works as a screenwriter on several projects, including the high-end fiction series King of Hearts (VRT) with De Wereldvrede and Ada (Menuetto) with actress Ruth Becquart. She is also headwriter at Dedsit, creating a series of microdramas for Play.

In 2023, she graduated as a director from KASK School of Arts, Ghent, with her fiction short film BURN.\n\nBURN was selected for Cannes Filmweek 2025 and the Leuven Short Film Festival, received an honorable mention from the VAF, and won the jury prize for Best Actress \u2014 an award given to Cato Catteeuw herself. Besides writing and directing the film, she also played the lead role.\n\nHer work focuses primarily on toxic relationships and on exploring the boundaries and complexity of human behavior. Themes such as manipulation, self-destruction, revenge, the desire for control, deceiving others, and deceiving oneself are central to her work.\n\nShe tries to make unethical behavior recognizable to the viewer, because she believes it is something each of us can relate to. She is convinced that every individual is \"guilty\" of such behavior, to a greater or lesser degree, consciously or unconsciously, but inevitably with impact.\n\nHer films are not intended as a moral message. They are not a lesson in how we as human beings should act, nor do they emphasize how \"bad\" or \"malicious\" a person is deep down. On the contrary: they show respect for the individual's flaws and underline that unethical behavior is sometimes stronger than norms and values \u2014 how we sometimes know better and want to do better, yet still cannot, because it is sometimes stronger than ourselves, and frankly tragic.\n\nHer films are not an attempt at reflection; they are an open, empty hand offered when we feel lost in the enigma that another person is, and in the darkness that we ourselves sometimes are.","portrait":{"src":"https:\/\/dewereldvrede.be\/media\/pages\/creators\/34165ef346-1789633810\/cato-catteeuw-480x-q85.webp","srcset":"https:\/\/dewereldvrede.be\/media\/pages\/creators\/34165ef346-1789633810\/cato-catteeuw-160x-q80.webp 160w, https:\/\/dewereldvrede.be\/media\/pages\/creators\/34165ef346-1789633810\/cato-catteeuw-240x-q80.webp 240w, https:\/\/dewereldvrede.be\/media\/pages\/creators\/34165ef346-1789633810\/cato-catteeuw-320x-q80.webp 320w","sizes":"(min-width: 1024px) calc((100vw - 22.8rem) \/ 6), min(28rem, 100%)"},"external_link":"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm11882004\/?ref_=fn_t_1","external_link_label":"IMDB","productions":[]},{"name":"Jonas Baeckeland","role":"Writer & Director","bio":"As a director, Jonas made his first feature film Cool Abdoul, a biopic about the Ghent-based boxer Isma\u00efl Abdoul, which premiered at TIFF Toronto International Film Festival and Film Fest Gent. The film tells the story of a boxer who rises to become European Champion while at the same time sliding into a life of crime, without passing judgment on him, but also without shying away from the factors that cause his fall.\n\nAs a screenwriter, Jonas is currently writing a second feature film together with Nele Meirhaeghe, which will be produced by De Wereldvrede.\n\nSince 2023, Jonas has been working for the non-profit organization Touch\u00e9. Working from a solution-focused approach, he explores together with people who feel stuck in their anger how fury doesn't have to be a destructive force, but can become fuel for change. That experience has deepened his perspective on systems such as justice and detention.\n\nJonas moves between fiction and reality, and everywhere he looks he searches for the same thing: what happens when we look not only at what goes wrong, but above all at what is possible.","portrait":{"src":"https:\/\/dewereldvrede.be\/media\/pages\/creators\/f0e18a4ef2-1789633914\/foto-jonas-baeckeland-480x-q85.webp","srcset":"https:\/\/dewereldvrede.be\/media\/pages\/creators\/f0e18a4ef2-1789633914\/foto-jonas-baeckeland-160x-q80.webp 160w, https:\/\/dewereldvrede.be\/media\/pages\/creators\/f0e18a4ef2-1789633914\/foto-jonas-baeckeland-240x-q80.webp 240w, https:\/\/dewereldvrede.be\/media\/pages\/creators\/f0e18a4ef2-1789633914\/foto-jonas-baeckeland-320x-q80.webp 320w","sizes":"(min-width: 1024px) calc((100vw - 22.8rem) \/ 6), min(28rem, 100%)"},"external_link":"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm3402487\/?ref_=fn_t_1","external_link_label":"IMDB","productions":[]},{"name":"Ibbe Dani\u00ebls","role":"Director","bio":"Ibbe Daniels comes from an artistic family, with a graphic designer for a father and a ceramicist for a mother. She was born with a pencil in her hand. After her arts-focused secondary education, Ibbe chose to study directing at St-Lukas Brussels and KASK, Ghent, graduating with great distinction in 1995. Her two short films, Badhuis (1994, mini-documentary) and Soap (fiction short, 1995), were selected for the Brussels Film Festival.\n\nA week after graduating, she began working on music festivals, and could be found on the video clip sets of dEUS, Evil Superstars, and Soulwax. After a year, she started out as an independent director, moving between Flemish production houses and broadcasters. She began shooting reportages for Ketnet, but felt most at home at Canvas, where she worked on short and long-form documentaries (including Mijn Moeder, Belpop, Lux). Gradually, she developed her own narrative style, marked by carefully considered visual language and particular attention to sound design.\n\nThe feature-length documentary R\u00eave Kakudji (2013), about a Congolese countertenor building his career in Europe, was her first true auteur film. It premiered at IDFA and was selected for festivals around the world. She combined this with other television work while traveling the globe.\n\nIt became increasingly clear that her heart lay with documentary filmmaking. She made both short and long-form pieces, including a portrait of Bart Van Loo (VPRO, 2015), People of Tomorrow (Netflix, Canvas, 2016), Sam & John (Canvas, 2017), and Kinderen Van Het Verzet (2019).\n\nIn 2021, she co-directed Lost Luggage (VRT E\u00e9n) together with Kaat Beels and Nathalie Basteyns, her first fiction experience, based on a true story about the Zaventem attacks.\n\nIn the meantime, together with Canvas researcher Ingrid Schildermans, she developed Godvergeten (Canvas, 2023), a series about abuse within the church. The series struck like a bomb in Belgium and received numerous awards.","portrait":{"src":"https:\/\/dewereldvrede.be\/media\/pages\/creators\/9645e0e0a1-1789633920\/ibbe-daniels-480x-q85.webp","srcset":"https:\/\/dewereldvrede.be\/media\/pages\/creators\/9645e0e0a1-1789633920\/ibbe-daniels-160x-q80.webp 160w, https:\/\/dewereldvrede.be\/media\/pages\/creators\/9645e0e0a1-1789633920\/ibbe-daniels-240x-q80.webp 240w, https:\/\/dewereldvrede.be\/media\/pages\/creators\/9645e0e0a1-1789633920\/ibbe-daniels-320x-q80.webp 320w","sizes":"(min-width: 1024px) calc((100vw - 22.8rem) \/ 6), min(28rem, 100%)"},"external_link":"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm2086728\/?ref_=fn_t_1","external_link_label":"IMDB","productions":[]},{"name":"Triene Gheysens","role":"Writer","bio":"Triene is a screenwriter.
