Born in 1961, Stienette Bosklopper set up her Amsterdam-based film production company Circe Films at the beginning of the 1990s and initially operated in the field of children's television, although feature film production are now the company's main activity.

Circe's first internationally released feature was Annette Apon's ONE MAN AND HIS DOG which had its premiere at the Netherlands Film Festival in Utrecht in 1998. The lead actor Ramsey Nasr subsequently won the Silver Dolphin as Best Actor for his performance at the Troia International Film Festival in 1999.

Stienette followed this in 2000 with Nanouk Leopold's directorial debut ILES FLOTTANTES which was selected for the 2001 Tiger Award Competition at the Rotterdam International Film Festival and was screened at many international film festivals including Karlovy Vary, Pusan and Sao Paolo.

She has since produced Leopold's third feature GUERNSEY which has been selected for the Quinzaine des Realisateurs at Cannes in 2005. Starring Maria Kraakman ( ILES FLOTTANTES), Fedja van Huet (Oscarwinning CHARACTER), Johanna ter Steege (DEAR EMMA SWEET BOBE) and Frank Vercruyssen (VILLA DES ROSES), the international co-production centres on an 'ordinary' woman who takes stock of her life after she has witnessed the suicide of a colleague in Egypt. . In 2007 Nanouk Leopold's feature WOLFSBERGEN, which was presented at the CineMart in Rotterdam in 2003, was selected for the Forum of New Cinema at the Berlinale 2007 and the Toronto International Film Festival. In this film three generations of a family receive a letter from 83-year old pater familias Konraad that he wants to stop living, which forces them to take stock of their own lives.

In 2008 Stienette will release CALIMUCHO by Eugenie Jansen, the winner of a Tiger Award in 2002 for SLEEPING ROUGH (Tussenland). She also works on NOW SHE YELLS, a feature film by Esther Rots, whose two shorts were both selected for Cannes, and on Nanouk Leopold's upcoming international feature BROWNIAN MOVEMENT. She also acts as co-producer on the film SPRING RITUAL by Patrice Toye and THE HAPPIESY GIRL IN THE WORLD by Radu Jude.

Stienette Bosklopper has served as the President of the Dutch Feature Film Producers Association (NVS) from 2001 until 2006.
