Van der Elsken en tijdgenoten: Stad, familie en film
An evening highlighting the work of van der Elsken’s contemporaries, including filmmakers Louis van Gasteren, Johan van der Keuken and Emiel and Moerkerken. All of these filmmakers took a highly personal approach to their subject. Part of a programme to accompany the van der Elsken tribute in the Stedelijk Museum.
Van der Elsken”s contemporaries made films which not only focused on the immediate environment or the spirit of the age. They also made it clear they were part of that world. Observing, participating and sometimes also contemplating, their films presented a portrait of the world in which they lived.
With work by Ytzen Brusse: Parlevinkers (1949, 14”); Bas van der Lecq: Twisteria (1962, 10”); Louis van Gasteren: Jazz & Poetry (1964, 14”); Johan van der Keuken: Vakantie van de filmer: Johan van der Keuken (Filmmaker”s holiday, 1974, 38”); Emiel van Moerkerken: Volgend jaar in Holysloot (Next Year in Holysloot, 1983, 10”).
