Michiel Blanchart

After his graduation from high school (literary Baccalauréat in France), Michiel decides to return to Belgium, his native country, to enter IAD. Indeed, after many amateur shorts, he considered himself ready to integrate a cinema School.
During the summer of 2014, between his second and third year at IAD, he directed the short film L’annonce, an agonizing and claustrophobic thriller. This auto-production was shot in 7 days with a handful of motivated friends. Two years later, the film got selected at the “Festival International du Film Policier” in Liège.
In 2015 he co-directed the short film Lulu with Louise Dendraën, as part of his fourth year at IAD. The film was selected, among others festivals, at the FIFF (Festival International du Film Francophone) in Namur, and won the BeTV Award.
Dynaman, his last year student film, is now his third official short film.
