Biography

Paula van der Oest (born 1965) is a Dutch filmmaker and screenwriter. Her 2001 film Zus & Zo earned a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. She received the Cannon Award in 1988 for her graduation project Zinderend at the Dutch Film and Television Academy. In the years that followed, she worked as an assistant director before returning as a director in 1994. For the VPRO series Lolamoviola, she created the short films Coma and Achilles En Het Zebrapad (Achilles and the Zebracrossing), with Coma winning a Golden Calf for best television drama. In 1996, van der Oest directed her first feature film, De nieuwe moeder (The New Mother), which featured her then-husband Theu Boermans, who later appeared in Zus & Zo. In 1998, she made De Trip Van Teetje (The Journey Of Teetje), starring Cees Geel as a shady entrepreneur who purchases a Russian cargo ship. Zus & Zo, loosely inspired by Chekhov's The Three Sisters, marked her first mainstream film in 2001. While maintaining the realistic characters and relationships from her earlier works, the film incorporated more humor and led to an Oscar nomination.
