64th Berlin Film Festival opens with Wes Anderson's eccentric tragicomedy Grand Budapest Hotel

Stel je een ouderwets gedistingeerde komedie voor, maar dan gefilmd met moderne vaart, in de kleurrijke en barokke stijl van een rijk gedetailleerd stripverhaal vol complotten en ontsnappingen, afgerond met een parfum van melancholie. Dan kom je in de buurt van The Grand Budapest Hotel, de nieuwe film van Wes Anderson (The Royal Tenenbaums, Fantastic Mr Fox, Moonrise Kingdom) Het Filmfestival Berlijn (6 – 16 februari) verzekerde zich hiermee van een opening met een feestelijke en toch onconventi...

Chris Marclay enchants @hollandfestival with his found footage collages

Holland Festival Holland Festival

Multidisciplinary jack-of-all-trades Chris Marclay has broken through with his film project The Clock: every second of the day represented with found footage. It took him five years to make the 24-hour work. That says something about the way he makes his art. The incredible precision with which he edits makes his work so convincing that the viewer almost falls into a trance.

The Holland Festival presented three of his works at EYE, the new film museum, in which he collaborated with MAZE, a descendant of the Maarten Altena Ensemble.

16th Holland Animation Film Festival opens with Monty Python and abstract animation in 3D

Dat bijna alle grote Amerikaanse familiefilms en veel actiefilms in 3D zijn is inmiddels vanzelfsprekend. Maar in tegenstelling tot voorspellingen van een paar jaar geleden zijn vergelijkbare doorbraken in de arthousesector nog schaars. Toch blijft het een intrigerende belofte. Het programma-onderdeel met elf artistieke animatie-experimenten in 3D dat te zien is op het 16e Holland Animation Film Festival in Utrecht (20 t/m 24 maart) maakt beslist nieuwsgierig. Samensteller Marc Bertrand van de ...

Fiction in dance films, (how) does it work? Good question at festival Cinedans

Fransien van der Putt, together with choreographer and dance filmmaker Angelika Oei, saw five new Dutch dance films during Cinedans. Some of the results were promising. The films all transcended the level of visual gimmick. In its place is a struggle with fiction and physical credibility.

Underdog Argo winnaar bij de Oscars

Het grote verhaal van de Oscars 2013 is natuurlijk hoe de underdog Argo uiteindelijk de aanvankelijk gedoodverfde favoriet Lincoln voorbijstreefde. Toen zondagavond Ben Affleck het beeldje voor beste film in ontvangst nam deed hij dat niet als regisseur maar als producent. Hij was zelfs niet eens genomineerd voor de Oscar voor beste regie, en dat komt bij een film die… 

Cinekid honours French animation filmmaker Michel Ocelot with Lifetime Achievement Award

The feature-length French animated film is on the rise. To emphasise this, Michel Ocelot, one of the pacesetters, has been invited as guest of honour by the Cinekid children's film festival. Tonight, he was also presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award, which he accepted with a modest protest. As an animation filmmaker, Michel Ocelot (1943) considers himself still an adolescent with much to discover.
Met zijn op Afrikaanse sprookjes gebaseerde Kirikou et la sorcière (1998) verwierf Ocelot wereldfaam en inspi...

Edelkoort signals development of animation art better than she thinks

On 12 August 2012, during the worst watched Summer guests-broadcast of all time (343,000 viewers) told trend forecaster Lidewij Edelkoort about The Johnny Cash Project. A great example of what crowdsourcing can do for creativity: in 2010, everyone was invited to add a drawing to an animated music video to Johnny Cash's latest song. We now know what and who is behind this:

William Kentridge & the dress rehearsal for the Holocaust

Met Black Box / Chambre Noire presenteert het Joods Historisch Museum de eerste tentoonstelling van de Zuid-Afrikaanse kunstenaar William Kentridge in Nederland. Een multimediakunstwerk over de eerste volkerenmoord van de twintigste eeuw. Nu te zien in het Joods Historisch Museum.

Gewapend met knuppels slaan twee donkere schimmenfiguurtjes elkaar de hersens in. En vervolgens een derde slachtoffer, knielend en ongewapend, die na de klappen in stukken uiteenspat. Op de achtergrond is muziek van M...

After U with Monic Hendrickx and Jaap Spijkers opens third edition of Go Short

To protest against the cuts in culture, you can of course shout loudly, but as an artist you can also just do what you are good at - make something really beautiful. Dutch film director Danyael Sugawara (Alles stroomt) chose the latter and in a day and a half, with the best Dutch actors, shot Na U, a small drama about unconditional love and...
