2016- Beneath the surface - Research Exhibition Archive as a place to play - Eye Filmmuseum
The film from archival source A Holiday in Port Elizabeth contains scenes of a beach with long observational shots with people bathing, swimming and having a lovely
time. These wide angle shots full of happiness are meant to establish a general atmosphere and feeling or"sense of feeling" for the place. It fascinated me that so many hidden storylines are
alive beneath the surface of this wide angle view of the beach. These almost objective shots deny the little, nuanced or detailed storylines of a single more pointed moment. What is beneath the
aesthetics of this surface? And what lies behind the large wide angles of the observational shots?

2012- “Continuüm” graduation film of the art academy AKV|ST Joost Breda.
The film is focussed around the theme of daily family rituals which is exposed through acting and architecture of the location. More specifically, architecture
is used on a metaphorical level which interrogate the medium of film. The events take place in a house that is shown on two different ways: in all its filmic realism and also as a
consciously staged setting through decor. It raises questions about how human beings will stage their own lives, and whether this staging is informed by reality. Or is it nothing more than an
illusion we choose for ourselves?
