Erwin van Ballegoij

Erwin van Ballegoij (b. 1965) has been hooked on science fiction and fantasy since he was a teenager. At first he was only a reader and film fan, later he became involved in the organisation of Benelux- and Cosycons (2008 – 2012), Imagicons (2014-2019) and in the short film programme of BUT Film Festival (2019 – present). In the latter capacity he selected some (short) films for the film programme. Apart from being a genre fan, he is also an avid amateur astronomer (and has published a couple of articles in professional scientific magazines), plays a mean game of bridge and plays korfball on a recreational level. So, if you see him at the l’Empereur bar, at least you’ll know what to talk about.
