Principal country concerned : Column : Cinema/tv

Belgian filmmaker.
His debut feature is THE INVADER (2011) starring Issaka Sawadogo, Stefania Rocca, Serge Riaboukine, Dieudonné Kabongo, about the story of an illegal African immigrant whose journey begins in Brussels.

Nicolas Provost's work reflects on the grammar of cinema, the human condition in our collective film memory and the relation between visual art and the cinematic experience. His films provoke both recognition and alienation and succeed in catching our expectations into an unravelling game of mystery and abstraction. With manipulations of time, codes and form, cinematographic and narrative language is analysed, accents are shifted and new stories are told.

In 2003 Nicolas Provost (born in Ronse, Belgium) moved back to Belgium after a 10 years stay in Norway. He now lives and works in New York. His films have been exhibited worldwide and have earned a long list of awards and screenings at prestigious festivals including The Sundance Film Festival, The Venice Film Festival, The Berlinale, The San Sebastian Film Festival and The Locarno Film Festival. Solo exhibitions include The Seattle Art Museum, Musée d'art moderne et contemporain, Strasbourg, France, Tim Van Laere Gallery, Antwerp and Haunch of Venison London & Berlin. His award winning first feature film ‘The Invader' had it's world premiere in competition at the Venice Film Festival in 2011.
