Stefano Bertacchini / NL, 2021 / 50 min.

Preceded by a conversation with some of those involved at the time, including Jan Rot and Hugo Sinzheimer.
In 2015, Eye acquired the archive of director Herbert Curiël (1927): boxes full of papers, documents and cuttings. One surprising find was the film and audio material from his film Cha-cha (1979), starring Herman Brood and Nina Hagen.
