Biographie
Christina Vandekerckhove graduated from KASK, Ghent (Belgium), with the highest distinction in audio visual art. Her short documentary Home Video (2001) won the Viewpoint documentary award in Ghent. She has since worked as a freelance director, predominantly for television and theatre. For Belgian television, she made films such as De Nadas, a highly visual, musically expressive road movie that journeys through the Spanish landscape, and a surrealistic film portrait of the artist and author, Randall Casaer. Her first full-length documentary Rabot (2017) is about the forced relocation of the residents of the Rabot Towers, a social housing block in Ghent.
