John de Mol doet goede zaken in de Arabische wereld. Hij doet daar nogal minnetjes over, volgens Hassnae Bouazza. Volgens haar praat de televisieproducent in het openbaar vooral over de vele beperkingen aan zijn formats vanwege de islam en het sentimentele gehalte van de tv in het midden oosten in het algemeen. Dat De Mols succesnummer The Voice of Arabia tijdens de finale in
Vijftien jaar na Peter Delpeuts Felice, Felice krijgt het International Film Festival Rotterdam weer een Nederlandse opening. De 42ste editie van dit toonaangevende evenement gaat op 23 januari van start met de wereldpremière van De wederopstanding van een klootzak van Guido van Driel, zo maakte festivaldirecteur Rutger Wolfson vanmiddag bekend.
Amsterdam, 26-11-2012 - Last Saturday died Moniek Toebosch (1948-2012), the sparkling multi-artist who startled our country from the 1970s onwards with contrary performances. Some of you may remember her scandalous performance in the 1983 Holland Festival. Toebosch presented the programme 'Attacks of Extremes' live for VPRO television from Theater Carré. After half the Broadcasting Orchestra had quit in protest,...
Klassieke muziek op televisie heeft altijd iets saais. Vaak een korte inleiding door een keurige heer of dame, gevolgd door het concert zelf. Close-ups van de dirigent en solist, een longshot van het hele orkest en na afloop applaus. Alsof het medium zo nauwgezet mogelijk de etiquette van de concertzaal probeert te evenaren. Zelfs de webstreams waar meer en meer grote orkesten zich meer en meer van bedienen wijken amper van deze formule af.
The Film Academy can be satisfied. The two juries that handed out the three student awards at the Netherlands Film Festival on Monday night had also looked at graduation work from other Dutch academies with a film section. But in the end, all the lucky ones were students from the Netherlands Film and Television Academy, as the Amsterdam programme is called in full. Magnesium again. The Tuschinski Award for best graduation film, this...
Iedere avond vindt er op het Nederlands Film Festival een belangrijke première plaats, en zondag was dat de nieuwe documentaire van Robert Oey, over boodschappers en nabestaanden. Gesneuveld laat een kant van onze militaire missie in Afghanistan zien die weinig in beeld kwam. 25 Nederlandse militairen zijn daar gesneuveld. De film is in zekere zin een eerbetoon aan hen, maar…
I did it just like that. Proclaimed a show as the most important theatre innovation for 20 years. That's daring. Even though I made the term a bit more vague in a subsequent tweet, because, yes, there has been quite a lot of innovation in recent years, left and right in theatres. So let's stick to 'the last few years'. And then...
Lots of bobbing on boards. That's what drama on television is mostly. And actors with weird reverberations in intimate scenes. That too. It is easy to shoot at attempts to bring successful performances to the TV or cinema screen. They almost always make viewers feel that their medium is shooting back 80 years in development. This is also why every attempt by the Dutch Public Broadcasting Corporation to make our fairly highly regarded stage art attractive to a wider audience via TV fails. Theatre or opera on screen is especially suitable for
EYE is pulling out all the stops. This year, the final exam papers of the students of the Netherlands Film and Television Academy will get an ideal presentation in the largest auditorium of this new film centre. What is also new is that yesterday, immediately after the screening for press and relations, awards were handed out for best commercial (The End, Soon), best documentary (A Twist in...
Or: the familiar becomes utterly alien here. Or: embracing meaninglessness as the first principle. One hundred years after his birth, John Cage takes centre stage in HF weekend.
Ever since Reinbert de Leeuw played it in the fastest talk show on Dutch television, John Cage's 4'33" has been a well-known composition in our country. For exactly four minutes and thirty-three seconds, the musician does not play a single note and the audience hears nothing but the ambient sounds.
Johan Nijenhuis' Foeksia de miniheks has become the big audience favourite of Cinekid, the festival for film, television and new media for young people. Friday evening, it was announced at the awards ceremony that Foeksia had won both the general audience award (Z@pp Cinekid Lion) and the audience award for best Dutch children's film. Foeksia the Mini-Witch, based on the book of the same name by Paul van Z...
The Marathon Effect is well known: put spectators together in a theatre for half a day or more, preferably on uncomfortable seats, and hand them over to a couple of actors with a play. Success seems assured, and the ancient Greeks already knew that. So that there would be no discord around the monster project I Demoni, the Dostoevsky adaptation of Peter...
