This masterclass explores the art of visual storytelling for films and TV series set in another period in time, through the work of Production Designer Stijn Verhoeven, Costume designer Charlotte Willems, Costume Designer Catherine Marchand and Make up & Hair Designer Kaatje Van Damme, focusing on the creative process and inspirations behind period and fantastic sets, costumes and makeup & hair.
How designers dig into archives and balance fact with fiction to create visually compelling stories rooted in Europe’s rich cultural heritage. Topics include the representation of truth, the responsibility of bringing a historical event to the screen, how we translate our reality into a past or future world.
Through a Q&A guiding the conversation.

About the Organizer:
The Belgian Film Designers Collective is an association for and by film professionals working in the fields of Production Design, Costume Design and Make-up/Hair across Brussels, Wallonia and Flanders.
Launched in October 2023 by art and costume colleagues in the frame of PDC's International Production Design Week, the collective is born from the idea of building a community, sharing experiences, knowledge and recognising the value of our work within the Belgian film industry and internationally.
We aim to stimulate the connection between our members and to provide a central point of information that supports and celebrates our craft. From established professionals with significant contributions to the emerging talents, our membership reflects the multicultural spirit of our country, a qualitative and creative power force shaping stories for the screen.
