Tessel and Jona being 1 and 4 years old crawling through Schiermonnickoog


In August 1984 I took my daughters to the far east end of the island Schiermonnickoog. Our Wadden islands are "travelling" to the east. So we walked and crawled from east to west. From the new land to the populated end in 10 days time. As a father I wanted to know how we were together, the three of us. My dauters were 1 and 4 years old at the time.

In October 1983 I visited, together with Conny Braam and Fons Geerlings, Lesoto, Mocambique and Angola to film evidence for the Western (European) involvement in the war going on in Southern Africa. One of the hottest fronts in the Cold War at the time. This material was presented at the Public Hearing in December 1983 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. This event resulted in the film Witness Apartheid Aggression.

Doors of culture shall be opened

The doors of culture shall be opened! (director/camera/prod) 1982/83



In December 1982 a conference was held in Amsterdam under the title “The Voice of Resistance”. Towards 100 in exile living artists from South Africa gathered with Dutch artists to debate South African culture in “De Bali” and “De Populier”. The African National Congress and the Anti Apartheid Movement were the organizers. The cultural accord between the South African Government and the Dutch Government had been broken but the alternative accord with the majority of the SA population was not yet established. A vibrant exposure of SA culture is presented in this film.

Family portrait in Pretoria 1981



Visit to our family in Pretoria, South Africa. I went there with my 1 year old doughter to do a journalistic experiment in 1981. My idea was to portray an uncommon political situation and not to comment on it in the film. What would happen when I showed the result in the Netherlands? ..The world would never be the same...
