Since 1999, writer, film director and video-artist Daniel Cockburn has worked at the intersection between art, avant-garde cinema and narrative film. Impakt first screened his work at the 2004 festival. His first feature-length film You Are Here won the Top Prize at the European Media Art Festival in Osnabrück in 2011, was awarded the Toronto Film Critics Association "Jay Scott Prize", and has been compared to the work of Charlie Kaufman, Jorge Luis Borges, and Philip K. Dick. It has screened at Locarno, Toronto, Rotterdam, and over 30 other major international film festivals, and had its Dutch premiere at Impakt Festival 2011.
