Premiere & recognition:
Premiered at the Nederlands Film Festival (2017) as part of the One Night Stand program, hand-picked for the Forum van de Regisseurs, and nominated for a Golden Calf in the Television Drama category. The film also had a special Limburg premiere at Lumière Maastricht and was broadcast on Dutch television.
Noël Loozen trained as a photographer at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and went on to complete an MA in Film at the Netherlands Film Academy. Photography and film have remained closely intertwined in his work ever since. Based in Amsterdam, he works across fiction, television, installations and commercials.
His short films SPOETNIK (2015) and BOTANICA (2018) marked the start of his career, with SPOETNIK selected for Generation 14plus at the Berlinale. For television, he created MOONRIDERS, a children’s series about art that received two Cinekid Award nominations. His installations OBSTACLE COURSE 2.0 (2018) and DE DIJK (2025) have been presented in public spaces, including Schiphol Airport.
In 2026, his feature debut TOUTES DIRECTIONS, produced by 100% Scripted, closes the Netherlands Film Festival and is released in Dutch cinemas on 1 October by Paradiso Filmed Entertainment. In 2027, he will direct the youth series METROPIA for VPRO, produced by NL Film. He is also developing his second feature, THE ISLAND OF NOSE (Dutch title: TOM TIPPELAAR), with Studio Ruba and screenwriter Saar Ponsioen.
