Anthony Schatteman is a Belgian filmmaker. He is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (KASK) in Ghent, later earning a master’s degree in Film Studies and Visual Culture from the University of Antwerp.

Through a stylized approach, minimal dialogue, and a focus on subtle, hard-to-articulate emotions, he creates universal characters that resonate with the audience.
