JEREMY FLOHR

CO-FOUNDER BEYOND WALLS, VISUAL STORYTELLER, FILM MAKER, AUDIO ENGINEER

Jeremy Flohr is filmmaker and visual storyteller. Whether Jeremy produces film portraits, poetry films or documentaries, his work is at the intersection of colonial history, personal stories and social themes.

''Dutch coloniality has been deeply rooted in both of my parents’ family histories. The impact of colonialism for me, is that in my upbringing, language has never been part of transferring indigenous cultural norms and values. Which resulted in displacement when it comes to expressing emotions in words. As a creative, I’m very close to my feelings. So to express feelings and emotions, I’m using film instead of words as a language to tell stories.''

Intrigued by inspiring people and personal stories of marginalized groups; with his sensitive feel for storytelling and unique eye as a filmmaker, Jeremy keeps uncovering stories the world needs to know, needs to hear, or better yet, needs to see.
