Beyond Sleep
Searching for meteorites, the young geologist Alfred starts an ambitious yet ever more futile expedition across the north of Norway. Director Boudewijn Koole gives Willem Frederik Hermans’ famous novel Nooit meer slapen a rigorous twist by making the physical ordeals, Alfred’s distrust of his team members and his loneliness amidst the indifferent landscape tangible. For the young man, his voyage turns into a struggle with his father complex and with his attempts to prove himself. Immersive cinema and philosophical reflection at once.

The latter, leading character Robertico Florentina, illegally lets holiday homes on Curaรงao.

If the Sun Explodes
Bearing a rucksack and a tent, the young Yara and Philippe hike along distant roads and celebrate life and freedom. Lyricism and realism go hand in hand in this largely improvised road movie. Kissing and making love, serious conversations, unanticipated clashes. Under the summer sun and starry sky, it is clear how deeply in love they are, but also how different. Philippe is a restless seeker, Yara seemingly more modest. A dramatic event unexpectedly puts their relationship to the test.

Out of Love
At a bar in a nameless Dutch town, the Russian chef Nikolai meets the Greek Varya. It is love at first sight. This human drama broadly sketches the equally blistering and destructive power of their turbulent relationship. Slowly but surely, sincere love and hope start vying with destruction and despair. Moments of passion and warmth alternate with conflict situations. Although this drama shows some extreme sides of a relationship, strategically scattered everyday moments add a degree of familiarity.

The documentary is a conversation between the writer Boontje and the filmmaker, who wants to find back the book, which he feels at home in, in reality.

Ten years later, the Netherlands still has not executed the arrangement.

Not only outsiders, but also the people in his immediate vicinity have trouble fathoming Boudewijn de Groot. His son Marcel calls him ‘emotionally inscrutable’.

The relationship between the near-centenarian Enny and her daughter Tascha is still dominated by the death of Enny’s first two daughters in Auschwitz. In a subtle portrait of his New York-based family, filmmaker Marco Niemeijer gradually unfolds the harrowing, suffocating effects of a war trauma across the generations. Even after Enny’s demise, the past keeps dictating Tascha’s life. As a viewer, meanwhile, it is not easy to take a position seeing the impotence of mother and daughter. After all, how should one relate to a victim who victimises others?

Melanie
Who is the rather timid woman depicted on the package of an inflatable hairdryer in the 1970s, and how did she get there? The filmmaker uses both her imagination and research to produce two stories: an invented life and a real life. Both are reconstructed with the help of photographs and home videos, recordings of streets and houses and voice-overs, dramatised or not. An experiment involving still something else, something that both feature films and documentaries do: create a reality.

One Life Is Not Enough
Fien de la Mar (1898-1965) was an exceptional actress. She performed in revues and cabarets, but also featured in dramatic roles. The stage and film diva had the faculty to unreservedly reveal herself in her characters and did not give a rip about the distinction between high and low culture. Incorporating film fragments and photographs, this documentary evokes an image of the magic of Fien’s talent and of the euphoria and despair in her life, which ended tragically with a self-chosen death. The soundtrack plays a game with the sound from movie scenes and quotes from interviews about her.

On the Track of Robert van Gulik
A forthright search for Robert van Gulik (1910-1967), for what remained and for people whose lives took a turn after getting acquainted with his universe. Van Gulik is globally one of the most read Dutch writers. This diplomat, Sinologist and scholar was known for his historical mystery stories revolving around the character of Judge Dee. In many respects, these novels are projections of his own life. This duality also inspired the form in which this cinematic exploration is cast. Reality smoothly passes into fiction.

Strike a Pose
In 1991, the controversial documentary Truth or Dare - In Bed with Madonna offered a glimpse behind the scenes of Madonna’s world tour. The seven young dancers (six gay, one heterosexual) appearing in the movie boldly flaunted their proclivity, thus growing into icons of sexual freedom. But it turns out the positive image Madonna evoked was not entirely truthful. Twenty-five years later, the dancers reveal the truth about their lives during and after the Blond Ambition Tour, which the audience did not get to see at the time.

In this short animation film, a man goes out for dinner by himself. In the restaurant, he tries to make contact with the other guests, but this is easier imagined than done. The other patrons are scared silly or send him away, without dialogue and without mercy. When someone does sit down at his table, he is not sure if he really wants company, after all.

Tussen man en vrouw
Awkward and touching moments at a wedding party where two ex-lovers are forced to spend the evening together. While the booze flows liberally and people around them are deliriously sweating and dancing to corny music, he makes advances. The initial chill between the former couple is extra painful because of the ebullient merrymakers and the budding happiness around them. Still, their love appears to have survived, although the old wounds haven’t completely healed either.

Voices of Finance
Docudrama based on Joris Luyendijk’s ‘Banking Blog’ in the British daily The Guardian. Ten characters guide us through the heart of the financial services industry: the City of London. Their monologues are embodied and expressed by dancers who perform their separate choreographies in the natural habitat of bankers: in and around tall, glass office towers. These seemingly distinct portraits jointly spark off a chain reaction, analogous to the competitive and stressful culture of the financial world, where every day can be the last one.

Is everybody equal in Western society? Or is a white skin the prevalent norm here? What do the ‘colours’ white and nude have in common? Both are dominant and often invisibly linked to white people.

Bring the Jews Home
Koen Carlier is a steadfast believer. As an unflagging knight of God, he combs the Ukrainian countryside for Jews, whom he admonishes to return to Israel. This way, he hopes to expedite the coming of the Messiah. Koen does not operate alone. He is an outpost of the radical Dutch organisation Christians for Israel that operates globally. The makers were given virtually unlimited access to the field work behind the scenes. With a lyrical touch, they show the mundane consequences of a utopian mission.

Cold Case Torrentius
The mysterious 17th century painter and freethinker Johannes Torrentius was rich, famous and notorious. A libertine who ridiculed religion, was tortured and convicted for heresy, and permitted to leave the country by the Royal Family as a gesture to the English king. Only one of his works has survived; a mysterious masterpiece that for years served as a lid of a raisin barrel. The filmmaker re-examines the case, but the enigma only seems to grow. And how tolerant was Holland really in those days?
