Enzo Smits

Enzo Smits (Belgium, 1988) is a Brussels-based filmmaker, writer, and photographer. In 2014, he graduated with a Master’s degree in Audiovisual Arts from LUCA School of Arts in Brussels with All We Ever Wanted Was Everything. His 2016 short, It Won’t Be Long Now, was part of VRT Canvas’ documentary series 4x7. His latest short film, Daysleeper, premiered at Film Fest Gent in 2022.

Alongside his film work, he co-created two graphic novels with illustrator Ward Zwart: Wolven (2016) and Ik kom van ver, maar blijf niet lang (2020). The latter received the 2021 Fnac Comic Book Award, and its French edition, Je viens de loin mais je repars bientôt, was included in the official selection of the 2023 Angoulême International Comics Festival. Adolescence, subculture, and the search for identity and belonging are recurring threads throughout his work. He is currently developing his first feature film.
