Kaboom Classics: Paul & Menno de Nooijer

Like no one else, the duo has mastered the game of pixilation and 'illusionism'. Their films, with their great sense of aesthetics and humour, bathe in an alienating atmosphere and touch on subjects like transcience, eroticism, bourgeois morality and the arts.

Paul and Menno's versatility manifests itself not only in their film work, but extends to photography, installations and even theatre. For this programma, father and son made a selection of 16 short films, including some analogue treasures from the 1970-90s, carefully digitised by Eye Filmmuseum.

With several awards at major international film festivals (Oberhausen, Stuttgart, Ottawa, Annecy), the duo's creations transcend all national borders. Their distinctive style enjoys the appreciation of every client around the world, ranging from ministries to pop bands and the legendary television network MTV. As if the films in the programme were not enough, Menno de Nooijer will also grant some insights into the professional challenges of carefully balancing commerce and art.
