Emma Lesuis is a Dutch freelance documentary maker.
Her first documentary 'Vir 'n glasie wyn' (For a glass of wine) about a South African winery was broadcast on Belgian and Dutch national television. She also made a documentary exhibition 'Op die plaas' (On this place), which she presented in the Netherlands, Belgium and South Africa.
Emma researches, writes, films, edits, presents - whatever role is required. Her focus is on documentary storytelling, often rooted in the personal. She prefers to combine different disciplines, as she did in the theatrical live documentaries *Aardappelbloed* and *Meer dan bauxiet*. With the latter she recently performed 17 times at the Oerol Festival on Terschelling in a co-production with Silbersee. After the summer, she will continue working on her first feature-length documentary in collaboration with the broadcaster HUMAN / Docmakers, and from the end of 2025 she will be an associate artist at the documentary collective BERLIN in Antwerp.
