At the end of the fourth year of study, the students make one last short exercise; a commercial. This year, students were assigned to make a commercial for SIRE for a fictional campaign about the consequences of or solutions for fast fashion.

The Future is Bankrupt (Documentary, 28’)
The endless construction site of Rotterdam unfolds as a moving spectacle for one last time; amidst a bleak backdrop where the lost city once rose from the rubble, the earth swaps itself for a gleaming skyline in pursuit of the craving for new and better.
In a race against time, Bep and Tinus make their final attempt to capture that elusive time by chasing it with their camera.
