Joris Oprins, Marieke Blaauw, Job Roggeveen

Known collectively as Job, Joris & Marieke, this Dutch creative trio operates at the vibrant intersection of animation, illustration, and music. Based in Utrecht, their collaborative process is defined by a seamless synthesis of disciplines, where the whimsical architecture of their visual storytelling is matched by the emotional resonance of their bespoke musical compositions. Their aesthetic is marked by a bold, graphic clarity that never sacrifices depth, inviting audiences into meticulously crafted worlds that are as intellectually playful as they are melancholic. Their filmography stands as a testament to the power of the short form, most notably with the Academy Award-nominated A Single Life, a film that elegantly dissects the fragile tempo of human existence through the lens of a rhythmic, time-bending record player. Their body of work has become a fixture on the global festival circuit, garnering prestigious acclaim from Annecy to Clermont-Ferrand. By grounding surreal concepts in the universal anxieties of modern life, Job, Joris & Marieke continue to refine a distinctive cinematic language that bridges the gap between high art and accessible, heartfelt narrative.
