Director, Koki, Ciao

Born in Australia in 1981, the filmmaker and artist Quenton Miller has been based in the Netherlands since 2012. His practice developed from video installations and work in writing and design for literary publications. He often centers animals and alienated characters, exploring themes of language, dislocation, and the search for belonging.
