Coach<\/h2>

Robin Vanbesien is een in Brussel gevestigde kunstenaar, filmmaker, onderzoeker en docent. In zijn werk onderzoekt hij hoe cinematografische methoden kunnen aansluiten bij en bijdragen aan gesitueerde vormen van place-making<\/em> \u2013 processen van toe-eigening en heruitvinding van plaatsen. Daarbij stelt hij vragen als: hoe kan cinema \u2013 met of zonder camera of scherm \u2013 een middel worden om het collectieve sociale lichaam en de zintuiglijke verbeelding van zulke strijd te erkennen, herwinnen, opnieuw samen te stellen, te repeteren en te herverdelen? Hoe kan een cinema ontstaan die voortkomt uit samenwerking met degenen die spreken en handelen in de directe nabijheid van deze strijd? En hoe kan zo\u2019n vorm van cinema verder collectief verspreid en herverdeeld worden?<\/p>\n

Vanbesien richt zich op cinematografisch belichaamde kennis en collectieve verbeelding in sociale en politieke contexten. Hij werkt samen met initiatieven van collectieve zelforganisatie, en verkent cinema als een ruimte voor ontmoeting, militante betrokkenheid, speculatieve repetitie en gemeenschappelijke samenkomst. In 2024 verdedigde hij een doctoraat in de kunsten rond Cin\u00e9 Place-Making<\/em>. Aan Sint Lucas Antwerpen co-co\u00f6rdineert en begeleidt hij het masterprogramma Socio-Political Context<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Tussen 2020 en 2024 was hij medeoprichter van The Post Film Collective<\/em>, dat cinema benaderde als ruimte voor collectieve speculatie. Hij (co-)initieerde bovendien de studiegroepen Cin\u00e9 Place-Making<\/em> (2022) en Cinema as Assembly<\/em>(2025). In 2017 publiceerde hij het boek Solidarity Poiesis: I Will Come and Steal You<\/em> bij b_books (Berlijn). Zijn film Under These Words (Solidarity Athens 2016)<\/em> (2017) ging in premi\u00e8re op transmediale, en the wasp and the weather<\/em>(2019) werd vertoond op Cin\u00e9ma du R\u00e9el.<\/p>\n

Zijn eerste lange speelfilm, hold on to her<\/em> (2024), reconstrueert een volksgerechtshof rond de dood van Mawda Shawri, die in 2018 door de politie om het leven kwam. De film ging in wereldpremi\u00e8re op Berlinale Forum Expanded (2024), in Belgische premi\u00e8re op Film Fest Gent (offici\u00eble competitie, 2024), en kende in 2025 een bioscooprelease in Belgi\u00eb.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":8946,"template":"","class_list":["post-8948","team","type-team","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nRobin
