Klara Van Es is a Belgian documentary maker.

She has a long record of service as a radio and television maker. In 2010, with Verdwaald in het Geheugenpaleis, Klara also profiled herself as a documentary maker. The stories she used to tell in her films were just around the corner, so to speak. With Inbetweenisms, Klara ventures into a foreign film adventure for the first time. Inbetweenisms is a filmic investigation into gender, identity and transition in Albania. With a working grant from the Pascal Decroos Fund for Special Journalism, Klara recently went on a character search through Albania, but she also returned with a conversation about feminism in the Albanian way.
