Okki Poortvliet

Overview

Okki Poortvliet (1999) is a documentary filmmaker, audiovisual artist, and illustrator. She grew up in a small village in the north of the Netherlands, where she shot her graduation film IJswee (Longing for Ice) in 2021 at Minerva Art Academy. Since then, she has created six films, each marked by an anthropological lens, experimental approach, and human touch.

Okki is fascinated by people and their worlds—whether it's Manus, who sharpens ice skates (IJswee), Jippe, who dreams of outshining Kim Jong-un (World's Greatest Missile Builder), Ricardo, who nailed his regional flag to a windmill (The Flaghoisters), or Robert, who cycles through the forest each morning at 5:30 (Over the Cattle Grid).

In addition to her film work, Okki creates installations, posters, and drawings. She studied philosophy at the University of Groningen. From 2025-2028 she will attend the Master of Film program at the Netherlands Film Academy.
