Joris Koptod Nioky is an avant-garde filmmaker from Amsterdam. His movies operate on the edge of documentary and fiction. Having worked as a musician, cultural organiser, a (failed) novelist, a photographer and as a dealer in midcentury modern design furniture, filmmaking now has his full attention. His first two feature films, Portrait of a failed writer (Portret van een mislukt schrijver) and This is not who I am (Dit ben ik niet) both premiered at the Dutch Film festival. His debut film found an international premiere at FIDBA, the largest documentary film festival of South America. It was in competition for a Golden Calf and won the Best Debut prize.
