Works in theatre, loves film and dance, especially dance on screen. Has ideas for multiple books and a deadline for one of them. Stands for human and animal rights. Practices tai chi and drinks tea.
My view this afternoon. Aging dancers performing a Pina Bausch piece from 1978, with their younger selves in screen. Some of them missing.. was in tears at the end.
West highlands? Looks great!

I’ll admit I had serious fomo, missing the opening of the Tilda Swinton exhibit at Eye film. But moderating for the student competition at the Nederlands Film Festival definitely made up for it. I saw amazing talent and if this is indicative of the future of Dutch cinema, it looks bright.

Research. Balcony is not a bad place for that.

What a joy to dive into the universe of the Quay brothers. Who needs realism in cinema, truly.

Current (re-)reading pile. Amongst other, lighter books, I must say. What are you reading to keep sane and informed?

Tea and books. The best combination for a Sunday afternoon.

Wat een prachtige voorstelling is Le Lacrime di Eros in een regie van Romeo Castellucci waar ik nog even op kan teren en op kan kauwen.

Joining the book shelves sharing. There was a time when there was a system to it. I can mostly find what I’m looking for.
