to the jury list

Hello, my name is Eugy, and I live near Brussels, Belgium.

About 40 years ago, I bought my first Super8 camera, which was loaded with a plastic box containing an unexposed 3-minute motion-picture film roll. Then I joined an amateur film club. For me this was the beginning of an exciting, on-going personal journey within the world of moving images.

Ever since I stepped into this exciting realm, I have seen a never-ending evolution in technical possibilities, film editing techniques and film language.

On the other hand, one thing remains steady: through their camera lenses, non-professional filmmakers always present film topics inspired by their emotions and their personal point of view. Their films allow me to expand my personal horizon.

Whenever I get the chance, I go to see movies at local film clubs and at film festivals around the country. I got invited to participate in jury panels, initially at local club levels and later progressing to more demanding competitions.

To develop my skills and capabilities in reviewing films, I attended several courses.

This year I reached pension age, so I can invest more time in boosting my personal film activities. I am keen in making animation movies which, to me, is a world on its own. From now on, I have more time to dive into the fascination of this time-consuming and patience-demanding activity.

I am honored for this opportunity to enjoy your films here at UNICA. Thank you all.
