Xan Márquez Caneda
Co-writer · Location Producer · Sound Recordist
Xan Márquez Caneda is a Spanish sound recordist and writer based in London. After graduating from the Location Soun programme at the National Film and Television School in the UK, he set about doing exactly what he had always dreamed of: travelling the world telling stories, and getting paid to talk to strangers. His recent credits include The Horizon Line, directed by Chivas DeVinck, three seasons of Unchained, a Netflix series following the Tour de France, and The Apologist, directed by Kristof Bilsen — a creative partnership that began when the two met at the NFTS.
Luca Mattei
Editor
Luca Mattei (Napoli 1977) is an artist, filmmaker and editor based in Brussels. His practice stems from the visual arts and then focused on ‘moving image’, turning particular attention to the performing art scene, visual arts and cinema where he works mainly as an editor.

Collaborators include Sammy Baloji, Romeo Castellucci, Maura Delpero, Massimo Carozzi, Myriam Van Imschoot, Francesca Grilli, and Julie Pfleiderer.

Elisabeth Klinck
Composer
Elisabeth Klinck is a contemporary violinist, composer and performer in minimal, electroacoustic, and experimental music as well as improvisation and theater. Her work revolves around tactility, fragility, the ritualistic character of improvisation and the manipulation of time which often induces a sense of stillness. Klinck’s work can be an overwhelming force, but fragile at the same time. Two solo albums, ‘Picture a Frame’ & ‘Chronotopia’, have been released on Hallow Ground (Kali Malone, Fujiiiiiiiiiita, …) and more recently Klinck Trio released their debut ‘My Hair is Everywhere’ on VIERNULVIER records. Klinck’s work has been showcased internationally at venues such as Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, BRDCST festival, Rewire Festival, VIERNULVIER, Rome Europe, Trafo, HAconcerts, Mafestival and many more.
