Maggie Lung

Maggie Lung - Director, Director of Photography known for her work in such projects: «Because We Are Born Girls» (2026),

Maggie Lung is a young Belgian filmmaker, nail artist, and writer of Asian descent. Working across experimental film, tactile design, and poetic narrative, her multidisciplinary practice explores themes of identity, cultural duality, and emotional interiority. Drawing from personal memory and collective experience, she often navigates the quiet spaces between belonging and alienation, past and present.

She is drawn to the moments where identity flickers and where the personal dissolves into the collective.

Born and raised in Belgium, Maggie grew up navigating multiple worlds. From a young age, she found herself compelled to document the world around her, filming, archiving, and collecting fragments of life as a way to understand it. This instinct to preserve and reflect continues to shape her artistic voice today. Through her films, she reflects on the experience of diaspora, womanhood, and intimacy, often weaving together archival imagery, voice-over, digital fragments, and found footage to create works that alternate between fiction and nonfiction, documentary and dream. Maggie's filmic visual language is soft yet incisive, attentive to silence, to gesture, to the unseen.

She is fascinated by how people carry their histories in the everyday, in family conversations, in the texture of domestic spaces, in phone recordings, in the things left unsaid. Her storytelling is often diaristic and introspective, using narration as a way to locate oneself in time. She views filmmaking as an act of preservation, not only of images but of feelings, inheritances, and questions that do not yet have answers.
