Born in 1989 in Belgium. He graduated from the KASK School of Arts in Ghent after which he obtained a master's degree in Film Studies and Visual Culture at the University of Antwerp. The world of young people and their relationships with the people around them form a common thread in his work. His first short film, Kiss me Softly, was a true festival favourite. His debut film, Young Hearts, premiered at the Berlinale Generation Kplus. ‘’I hope people will see it as just a love story, a story about falling in love for the first time. About daring to follow your heart and jumping in the deep end. It’s about those overwhelming and scary feelings everyone has known.’’
- Anthony Schatteman

With disarming wit, the Dalai Lama reflects on balancing millennia-old Tibetan Buddhist traditions with the contemporary values of our globalised society that now struggles to overcome violence and war while standing on the brink of environmental collapse. In this intimate heart-to-heart, the nearly 90-year-old Nobel Peace Laureate and the world’s greatest ambassador for compassion brings a timely message of hope. Wisdom of Happiness blends the Dalai Lama’s inspirational words with stirring images of our planet and newly unearthed archival footage.
