Roelof Jan Minneboo (Netherlands, 1965) is as a Dutch historian, curator, director, script consultant and screenwriter who works with directors across the globe: from Cape Verde to China and many areas inbetween. He is a member of the European Film Academy and the Asia Pacific Screen Academy and has worked with directors such as Adilkhan Yerzanov from Kazachstan (The Gentle Indifference of the World, A Dark-Dark Man), George Ovashvili from Georgia (Corn Island, Khibula) and Miaoyan Zhang from China (A Corner of Heaven, Silent Mist). Sughra and her Sons is his second collaboration with Azerbaijani director Ilgar Najef (after Pomegranate Orchard).
The Asia Pacific Screen Academy expresses its respect for and acknowledgement of the South East Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. We pay our respects to the Traditional Owners of country, including the custodial communities on whose land works are created and celebrated by the Asia Pacific Screen Awards. We acknowledge the continuing connection to land, waters and communities. We also pay our respects to Elders, past and present. We recognise the integral role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and First Nations peoples continue to play in storytelling and celebration spaces.
