Featured Projects
Searchinf for Peace
1917 was a turning point, marking the rise of propaganda and geopolitics in world affairs. In that same year, Rudolf Steiner proposed an alternative: The Threefold Social Order. This film explores the contrast between power and humanity, manipulation and awareness.
The Chessboard of Eurasia
A three-part series on over a century of geopolitical shifts in power: from the First World War to the world we live in today. Which events triggered one another? Which conflicts are interconnected?
Phenomenology
Jan van Gils about Phenomenology
Two themes
With Haags Licht, I make documentaries about subjects that need to be brought to light. I focus on stories that often remain underexposed and give a voice to perspectives that, in my view, deserve to be heard more widely. Through careful research and personal storytelling, I bring complex themes closer and make them accessible to a broad audience. Two themes play a major role in my work: Propaganda and Anthroposophy. Read more about these themes.
About haags Licht
Through Haags Licht, I work on film projects in which I research historical and social material and translate it into compelling visual stories. I often use investigative journalism as a foundation for my films, carefully bringing together facts, context, and personal stories. In the filmmaking process, I collaborate with other filmmakers.

Follow & Support
I’d love to take you behind the scenes of my work for Haags Licht. Not just the end result, but the process as well. Step by step, I bring stories to light that deserve to be seen. By following me, you get a glimpse into how these stories come to life. And by supporting my work, you help me continue doing this and bring more hidden perspectives to light.
Searching for peace
Haags Licht is working on a film about the search for peace. There are many wars going on in the world right now. But is it possible to create a society in which we live together in peace? I believe it is. Would you like to learn more about this project?
