Naomi Noir is a Dutch writer, director, and animator. Her often absurdist works mesh witty linguistics with raw linework to give a surrealist snapshot of the inner worlds of her unique characters. Her art imitates life. Her films draw inspiration from pub tales, reality television, and the painful topics most of us avoid. Noir's latest award-winning work, Mother’s Child (2024), lays bare the everyday intricacies of having an adult child with special needs.
