Selected for the 67th International Filmfestival in Venice.
Scena del Crimine, a film by Walter Stokman, will have its world premiere in the parallel program of the international film festival, Venice Days (Giornate degli Autori) and is part of the program ‘Italy: Portraits and Landscapes’ (1-11 sept).

Scena del Crimine is a frame narrative in seven ‘scenes’ that begins and ends on the prison island of Nisida.  In between, we see five views of the city that have been determined by the underworld.  We hear the sad story of a grandmother about her murdered grandson.  At the forensic department of the police, detective Baiano tells how his former classmates fell prey to the mafia one by one.  At the military academy, they aspire to counterbalance  the chaos of the city with forced efforts.  We see how petty thief Mauro, confined to his home under house arrest, is going out of his mind with boredom while looking down longingly at the lively streets of Naples.
Director: Walter Stokman. In co-production with Dutch Broadcasting Organisation VPRO.

The film has its Dutch Premiere at the upcoming Netherlands Film Festival (22 sept- 1 oct) and is selected for the Golden Calf Competition.

Messages from the Hereafter

Maasja Ooms and
Ingrid Wender

What if you would sleep
What if you would dream while sleeping
And what if you would dream about going to heaven and picking a beautiful flower you’d never seen before
And what if, upon awakening, you’d hold that very flower in your hand?
Then what?

White Poverty

After South Africa abolished apartheid and formed a new government, a lot changed for the good. The black population has gotten more rights and opportunities in a more democratic society, but not everyone has profited from the new situation. Poor Whites -- South Africa's New Subclass is the story of several white families who have lost their jobs and fallen into poverty as a consequence of preferential treatment for blacks. They are known as the "poor whites," a group that hardly gets discussed but that is rapidly increasing in size.

Leaving Mandela Park

Leaving Mandela Park is a kaleidoscopic documentary about the dreams of children living in the townships of Cape Town, South Africa. It tells the story of five youngsters with a special drive to escape, however briefly, the drabness of everyday reality.
These dreams do not stand on their own. They are a metaphor for the hopeful future of a country trying to drag itself up from a mire of poverty and violence. Leaving Mandela Park shows the incredible resilience and vitality of these children.

Directed by Saskia Vredeveld, cinematography Melle van Essen. Edited by Riekje Ziengs. In co-production with IKON, Lichtpunt and Off World.
