SUMMARY:Monikondee @ Filmacademy Amsterdam
DESCRIPTION:Special screening of Monikondee at Filmacademie Amsterdam.\nThe screening will be followed by a Q&A and is free and open to the public. \nTime: 19:30-22:00hrs\nAddress: Nederlandse Filmacademie\, Markenplein 1\, 1011 MV Amsterdam\, 2nd floor \nFor centuries\, the Maroons in Suriname have kept capitalist society at bay. Descendants of enslaved Africans who escaped plantations\, they survived by adhering to ancestral values. In recent years\, however\, economic interests have penetrated deep into the rainforest. \nBoatman Boogie navigates the Maroni River\, which forms the border between Suriname and French Guiana\, to deliver essential cargo to remote Maroon and Indigenous communities. While these forest peoples grow their own food\, they are increasingly dependent on boatmen for their daily provisions. Climate-driven flooding and droughts are destroying their crops\, and gold mining is poisoning the water. When Boogie is summoned by his clan leaders to attend his nephew’s trial\, the demands of his work begin to conflict with his traditional duties. During a winding journey far upstream\, the currents grow increasingly unpredictable. \nBoogie is the film’s narrator\, sharing this role with the people he encounters. The multi-voiced narrative of this hybrid\, participatory documentary draws inspiration from the mato\, a collective Maroon storytelling technique in which the storyteller is interrupted by others who add their own stories and songs.

SUMMARY:Dutch Premiere Monikondee @ IDFA
DESCRIPTION:MONIKONDEE\, a participatory film project by Surinamese theatermaker Tolin Alexander and Dutch artist-filmmakers Lonnie van Brummelen & Siebren de Haan\, premieres in the Netherlands at IDFA\, where it screens in the Signed program. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the three directors. \nIn the remote rainforest between Suriname and French Guiana\, Boogie—a Maroon boatman—delivers essential goods to communities facing crop failure from climate change and water pollution caused by gold mining. As self-sufficiency comes under growing pressure\, local livelihoods grow increasingly dependent on money to survive\, and ancestral traditions come under strain. \nMONIKONDEE blends participatory filmmaking with the multi-voiced Maroon Mato storytelling tradition to portray resilience in the face of ecological disruption\, economic pressure\, and shifting social realities. \nMONIKONDEE had its world premiere at Cinéma du Réel\, where it won the Intangible Heritage Award. It has also received prizes and recognition at festivals in Morocco\, Italy\, and French Guiana. Cinema Delicatessen will release the film in Dutch cinemas starting 20 November. \nMore information on the project \nInterview with the directors \n

SUMMARY:World Premiere Monikondee @ Cinéma du Réel
DESCRIPTION:MONIKONDEE — a film by Dutch artists Lonnie van Brummelen\, Siebren de Haan and Surinames theatermaker Tolin Alexander premiers in Paris at Cinéma du Réel. The three directors\, boatman Boogie Adiontoe\, Director of Photography Sander Coumou\, and set sound recordist Idi Lemmers will be present at the world premiere. \nA boatman delivers cargo to remote Indigenous and Maroon communities along the river bordering Suriname and French Guiana. His winding journey offers an inside look into the complex challenge of maintaining local customs in the face of rampant gold mining\, multinational corporations\, and a changing climate. \nAfter their sumptuous Episode of the Sea (2012) shot on land and at sea with fishermen from the town of Urk in the Netherlands\, the pair of Dutch artists\, Lonnie Van Brummelen and Siebren de Haan\, began working with Surinamese theatre director Tolin Alexander. Together\, they started making participatory films working closely with the Surinamese peoples who descend from Maroon communities. Following Stones Have Laws (2018)\, Monikondee (for “money country”) is set along the Maroni River\, on the frontier between former Dutch Guiana and present-day French Guiana. It documents the economic and cultural relations between the indigenous and Maroon communities – or Fiiman (for “free man”) as the protagonist\, a boatman who sails up and down the river to deliver his cargo of petrol to remote villages and gold-diggers\, immediately corrects. The story follows the vagaries of the boatman’s trips\, the damage to his slender\, 18-metre-long craft\, the passage through the rapids made more difficult by the weight of his dangerously balanced cargo. Here\, each plays their own part and tells stories of origins\, travels\, extractivism and the colonial plundering prolonged by economic enslavement to the goldmining that is destroying their river.  Each stop-off is an opportunity for other voices to speak up\, in fable or song\, following an ancient narrative technique known as Mato\, but also to multiply and join forces in order to gain ownership and jurisdiction of conflicts needed to effectively fight for territorial and environmental rights. \nAntoine Thirion \nMore information on the project \nInterview with the directors

SUMMARY:KALI WAAL @ puntWG
DESCRIPTION:exhibition premiere of the film KALI WAAL by Jasper Coppes (22 min.\, 2024)\nlocation: puntWG\, Amsterdam\nopening: 25 July 17:00 – 19:00\nopening hours: 26 – 28 July 14.00 to 18.00\npublic conversation Fiction as Resistance: 27 July 17:00 – 19.00 \nThe film KALI WAAL combines fiction and documentary approaches to explore controversial ecological practices in the Netherlands. Artist Jasper Coppes’ short film will premiere on Thursday\, July 25th\, at puntWG in Amsterdam. The presentation includes a program of screenings and a spatial installation\, which will be on view until 28th of July. On Saturday\, 27th of July\, a conversation will take place between the artist and journalist Mira Sys\, whose research on polluted lakes was a significant inspiration for the work. \nThe work is related to the dumping of granulite and other industrial waste in sand extraction areas by various dredging companies\, a practice that has been in the media in recent years as a ‘serious environmental offense’. Coppes visited nature reserves near the river Waal for his film. To protect the local residents from the companies involved\, Coppes assembled a team of external researcher-actors. These young individuals question what can be considered as ‘nature’ and conduct their own experiments into the water quality of these lakes. \nThe film engages in a dialogue with utopian narratives about innovative rewilding processes advocated by industries and authorities. According to proponents\, the dumping of polluted mud in seemingly lifeless sand extraction lakes leads to renewed biodiversity. They present toxic dredging as the remedy for issues caused by previous industrial extraction. \nBy scrutinizing the optimistic narrative of authorities about this experimental design\, Kali Waal invites the viewer to doubt the innocence of this landscape. Seen from up close\, the vibrant greens and earthy browns resemble more of a sickening slurry. Coppes emphasizes that\, “like the ‘primal cows’ roaming here\, this landscape has been manipulated to appear as primitive\, authentic nature\, but is actually shaped by industrial forces.” \nPresentation of KALI WAAL and other works developed during the making of the film and/or related to the film’s themes. On 27 July\, the artist will have a public conversation with journalist and writer Mira Sys\, followed by drinks. In the public conversation with Mira Sys\, Coppes will delve into fiction as a strategy to address environmental issues. \nKALI WAAL is supported by Korte Verbeelding\, a collaboration between Mondriaan Fonds and the Nederlands Film Fonds\, Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunsten\, Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds Gelderland\, was developed in collaboration with Zone2Source in Amsterdam and P–OST in Nijmegen\, and produced by vriza (www.vriza.org).\n  \n \nJasper Coppes in conversation with Mira Sys\, photo: Rhea Harbers \n

SUMMARY:World Premiere East of Noon @ Quinzaine Film Festival Cannes
DESCRIPTION:EAST OF NOON by Hala Elkoussy is premiering at Quinzaine des Cinéastes at Film Festival Cannes. Premiere at 21 May 17:15 in Théatre Croisette. Further screenings with French subtitles only at 22/5/24 at Cinema Les Arcades Salle 1\, 22/5/24 at 17 hrs at Cinema Alexandre III\, 23/5/24 at 16:30 at Cinema Le Raimu. \nEast of Noon is a satire on the inner workings of an ailing autocracy and its inherent vulnerability to youth’s unchained vision of a better world. The story unfolds in two spaces: SHARQ12\, a sandy enclave situated in an industrial ruin; and the Sea\, a fluid landscape and simultaneously a longed for state of freedom. How do you imagine the sea when you have never seen it? \nThe characters embody a core personal question: How is hope kept alive in a grim reality? They struggle with fear in quest for a freedom that is instinctive\, but ill-defined\, with a hovering dilemma: can one stay clean in a dirty world? It is the young artist Abdo who most longs for freedom. His music is his saviour. The stories of his grandmother Jalala provide further relief from the hopeless reality\, but also perpetuate the status quo\, reflecting the complex relationship of art to authority. \nproduction: vriza\, seriousFilm\, Nu’ta Film \nrealized within the framework of De Verbeelding\, a collaboration of Mondriaan Fund and Netherlands Film Fund | funders: De Verbeelding\, Production Incentive\, Amsterdam Fund for the Arts\, Fonds 21\, DOHA Film Institute

SUMMARY:Stones Have Laws @ Criterion Channel
DESCRIPTION:Stones Have Laws (Dee Sitonu A Weti)\, a film by Lonnie van Brummelen & Siebren de Haan\, and Tolin Alexander\, in collaboration with the Maroons from Suriname\, has been selected by film collective Third Horizon to stream on Criterion Channel platform. \nOver the last decade\, Third Horizon has established itself as a champion of exceptional Caribbean cinema rooted in the region’s locus as a global crossroads of both history and geography\, a pivot around which the old world became the new\, and a harbinger of an intersectional future ravaged by colonialism and climate change. Featuring a selection of films drawn from Third Horizon’s flagship initiative\, the Miami-based Third Horizon Film Festival\, from its first edition in 2016 to its most recent in 2022\, this program brings together fiction\, documentary\, and hybrid works from across the region and its diasporas. Formally and politically radical\, these films seek to transcend stereotypical\, reductive\, and potentially harmful ways of seeing the Caribbean while understanding that representation is a means to an end and not merely an end in itself. In refusing to make a spectacle of their historically marginalized subjects while embracing the layered complexity of Caribbean identity\, they become vital and impactful works of art. \nFEATURES: Cocote (2017)\, Stones Have Laws (2019)\, Right Near the Beach (2020)\, Paroles de nègres (2021) \nSHORTS: Field Notes (2014)\, Douvan jou ka leve (2017)\, The Cemetery Lightens (2018)\, Dadli (2018)\, Nou voix (2018)\, My Mother Resents Me (2019)\, Aquí (2020)\, Here Is the Imagination of the Black Radical (2020)\, The White Death of the Black Wizard (2020) \nAvailable in Canada and the USA\, 1 Sept. 2023 – 1 March 2024. \n \nRead more about the film Stones Have Laws…

SUMMARY:Fragments from Shallow Lake @ POST Nijmegen
DESCRIPTION:Fragments from Shallow Lake\nPlatform POST\, Van Oldenbarneveltstraat 63A\, Nijmegen i.c.w. VRIZA\nCurated by Youri Appelo \nOpening: October 28\, 2022\, 8 p.m.\nExhibition: October 29 – December 11 \nWhat are the ecological consequences of dumping contaminated soil into public waters? And can toxicity lead to new nature? Jasper Coppes’ solo exhibition Fragments from Shallow Lake focuses on these questions. Coppes shows fragments from his new film Shallow Lake. The fragments depict the different perspectives presented in the film\, and at the same time give an insight into the editing process of the film. \nBoth the film and the exhibition focus on the contradictory nature of deep sand mining lakes in the Maas and Waal region. For decades\, these lakes have been filled with contaminated soil to create new nature areas. The new nature is an industrial wilderness\, a composite of exotics. Genetically engineered primordial cows graze on polluted soil\, stone powder from Scotland swirls in deep lakes\, PFAS accumulate in toxic sludge. And all these elements are also the territory of beaver and special flora. But what is the impact of these toxins on the flora and fauna of these areas? And how can we process pollution? \nShallow Lake was developed in collaboration with VRIZA. Funders: AFK\, De Korte Verbeelding (Mondriaan Fonds and Nederlands Filmfonds)\, Prins Bernard Cultuurfonds Gelderland \n

SUMMARY:Screening Aasivissuit @ Filmhallen
DESCRIPTION:The Filmhallen\, June 30\, 7:15 to 9:15 p.m. (Dutch text below) \nFrom 2018 to 2020\, VRIZA collaborated with Jasper Coppes on the production of his short film Aasivissuit (23 min.)\, shot in a territory inhabited by Inuit in Greenland. In the film two park rangers explore glaciers\, mud plains and frozen tundra; landscapes that are rapidly transforming as a result of climate change. They exchange old and new knowledge about the land. For example\, we learn how old fertile sediments from Greenland are being used to feed depleted soils elsewhere and how microbes have found a way to counteract pollution. \nA long research process preceded the film. Jasper traveled to Greenland several times to film the landscape and have conversations with local scientists and other residents. He worked with a local team to make the film. \nThe screening of Aasivissuit is followed by a moderated post-screening discussion between Jasper and Jeff Diamanti (Assistant Professor of Environmental Humanities\, Cultural Analysis & Philosophy at the UvA). Greenlandic producer Aka Hansen (Uilu Stories) will participate in the conversation. \nCosts: regular film ticket price\, or mail VRIZA (info@vriza.org) for a place on the guest list. \n  \nDe Filmhallen\, 30 juni\, 19:15 tot 21:15 uur \nVan 2018 tot 2020 werkte VRIZA samen met Jasper Coppes aan de productie van diens korte film Aasivissuit (23 min.)\, opgenomen in het gelijknamige gebied in Groenland waar Inuit leven. In de film verkennen twee parkwachters gletsjers\, moddervlaktes en bevroren toendra’s; landschappen die als gevolg van klimaatverandering snel transformeren. Ze wisselen oude en nieuwe kennis uit over het land. Zo leren we hoe oude vruchtbare sedimenten van Groenland worden gebruikt om elders uitgeputte gronden te voeden en hoe microben een manier hebben gevonden om vervuiling tegen te gaan. \nAan de film ging een lang onderzoek vooraf. Jasper reisde meerdere keren naar Groenland om het landschap te filmen en gesprekken te voeren met lokale wetenschappers en andere bewoners en om samen met een lokaal team de film te maken. \nDe vertoning van Aasivissuit wordt gevolgd door een gemodereerd nagesprek tussen Jasper en Jeff Diamanti (Assistant Professor of Environmental Humanities\, Cultural Analysis & Philosophy bij de UvA). De Groenlandse coproducent Aka Hansen (Uilu stories) zal eveneens in de discussie participeren. \nKosten: regulier bioscoopbezoek\, of mail VRIZA (info@vriza.org) voor een plaats op de gastenlijst.

SUMMARY:Aasivissuit artist talk @ Scheepvaartmuseum
DESCRIPTION:scroll down for English\nAASIVISSUIT\nVoertaal: Nederlands \nTijdens museumnacht 2019 toont Jasper Coppes fragmenten van zijn nieuwe film Aasivissuit in het Scheepvaartmuseum in Amsterdam. De film combineert verschillende perspectieven op het veranderende landschap van Groenland. \nJasper zal inzichten delen van de lokale bewoners van Groenland die hij tijdens het maken van de film heeft ontmoet. Hij zal ons uitnodigen om ons open te stellen voor niet-menselijke perspectieven: Wat zegt een raaf over het smeltend ijs? Hoe interpreteren we zijn korrende bericht? Welke andere stemmen bevat het landschap waar we nog niet naar hebben geluisterd? Je bent van harte uitgenodigd om deel te nemen aan het gesprek! \nTijden van de presentaties \n19.45 – 20:15 \n20.30 – 21:00 \n21.15 – 21:45 \nTickets: https://museumnacht.amsterdam/home \n  \nSynopsis van de film \nAasivissuit (Groenlands voor de Grote Bijeenkomst) is een gebied van grote culturele waarde (UNESCO)\, niet alleen voor de inwoners van Groenland\, maar voor de hele wereld. Het is een plek waar moderne wetenschap\, oude wijsheid en rijke natuurlijke diversiteit elkaar ontmoeten. Ook wij in Nederland zijn verbonden aan dit landschap. Immers\, als in Groenland bergen groeien vanwege de smeltende ijskap\, zullen de Nederlandse kusten overstromen door de stijgende zeespiegel. De film volgt een reis door dit gebied\, waar Adam Lyberth\, een Groenlandse Inuit met diepgaande kennis van het land waarin hij opgroeide\, een jonge parkwachter bekent maakt met het snel veranderende landschap. Met artistieke middelen maakt Aasivissuit verbindingen zichtbaar tussen rivieren en rotsen; tussen dieren en mineralen. Zo worden we uitgenodigd te voelen hoe verleden\, heden en de toekomst samenvloeien; hoe mensen en niet-menselijke wezens samen dezelfde ruimte bewonen. \n  \nOver de kunstenaar \nJasper Coppes (1983\, Amsterdam) is een beeldend kunstenaar. Hij werkt met verschillende media\, waaronder 16mm-film\, geluid\, installatie en tekst. Controversiële landschappen en hun protagonisten verschijnen vaak in zijn werk. \nHij neemt regelmatig deel aan tentoonstellingen\, filmfestivals en lezingen in heel Europa. \n  \nMet steun van \nAmsterdams Fonds voor de Kunsten\, Nederlands Filmfonds\, Mondriaan Fonds\, Greenland Lottery Fund\, Prins Bernard Cultuurfonds Noord-Holland\, de donateurs van de cinecrowd campagne \n  \nAANKONDIGING AASIVISSUIT PRESENTATIE SCHEEPVAARTMUSEUM \n \nENGLISH \nSpoken language: Dutch \nDuring museum night 2019 Jasper Coppes will show excerpts from his forthcoming film Aasivissuit at the Scheepvaartmuseum in Amsterdam. \nThe film brings together different perspectives on the environmental changes that are currently unfolding in Greenland. Jasper will share the perspectives of local inhabitants that he met during the process of making the film. But he will also invite us to consider: what does the raven say about the melting ice? How do we interpret its croacking message? What other voices does the landscape contain that we haven’t listened to yet? You are warmly invited to come and join the conversation! \nTimes of the presentations \n19.45 – 20:15 \n20.30 – 21:00 \n21.15 – 21:45 \nTickets: https://museumnacht.amsterdam/home \n  \nSynopsis  \nAasivissuit is an area of great cultural value (UNESCO) not only for people in Greenland\, but also for the world at large. It is a place where modern science and ancient wisdom meet the vast expanse of natural diversity. The film follows a journey through this area\, where Adam Lyberth – a Greenlandic Inuit with in depth knowledge of the land he grew up in – introduces a young park-ranger to the rapidly changing landscape. While in Greenland mountains are growing because of the melting icecap\, Dutch shores will suffer from rising sea levels. The film gives us a taste of the connections between rives and rocks; between the animals and minerals that together create Assivituit (Greenlandic for the Great Gathering). It invites us to feel how past\, present and the future melt together; and how humans and non-human beings co-inhabit the same space. \n  \nArtist’s biography \nJasper Coppes (1983\, Amsterdam) is a visual artist who has been making short (analogue) films since 2012. He works in different mediaincluding 16mm-film\, sound performance\, installation and writing. Controversial landscapes and their protagonists frequently appear in his creations. \nHe regularly participates in exhibitions\, film festivals and lectures across Europe. \n  \nSupported by \nAmsterdams Fonds voor de Kunsten\, Nederlands Filmfonds\, Mondriaan Fonds\, Greenland Lottery Fund\, Prins Bernard Cultuurfonds\, the supporters of the cinecrowd campaign \n

SUMMARY:Sitonu A Weti tour in Suriname
DESCRIPTION:Tour van Stones Have Laws in het Surinaamse binnenland met vertoningen in Pikin Slee\, Asindohopo\, Jaw Jaw\, Lebi Doti en Moengo\, en een vertoning in TBL cinema in Paramaribo\, maart 2019. \n‘Dee Sitonu a Weti’ [sic] goed ontvangen\, door Euritha Tjan A Way\, De Ware Tijd Online\, 24 maart 2019 \n“Overal was de reactie dat deze film het begin is. De mensen hebben zoveel meer dat ze zouden willen delen met de wereld. Ook dat de marrons hun eigen leven door de lens van de film zagen\, maakte ze bewust van wat ze allemaal hebben en hoe mooi dat is”\, legt Alexander uit. De marrons hebben volgens Alexander vooral meegewerkt aan de film omdat ze zich ervan bewust zijn dat hun kinderen niet meer zo dichtbij hen blijven. “Daardoor dreigen hun kennis en hun verhaal verloren te gaan. Het is nu de tijd om dat allemaal vast te leggen.” De film stipt ook aan dat bepaalde economische activiteiten de manier van leven beïnvloeden. “Goudzoeken en houtkappen kwamen het leven van de marrons binnen\, en naast het feit dat de overheid dat toelaat\, hebben de mensen in het binnenland er ook een rol in”\, zegt Alexander. \nhele artikel De Ware Tijd \nmeer informatie Stones Have Laws \n \nSitonu A Weti

SUMMARY:premiere Stones Have Laws @ IDFA
DESCRIPTION:Stones Have Laws – a hybrid documentary film project by Dutch artists Lonnie van Brummelen and Siebren de Haan and the Surinamese theater maker and poet Tolin Alexander. The film presents the colonial history that the Netherlands and Suriname share from the perspective of the Maroons – descendants of Africans who were shipped across the Atlantic to work on the plantations\, but managed to free themselves. Building on their ancestral knowledge and what the indigenous people taught them\, they established new communities in the rainforest and formed alliances with the rivers\, the stones\, the animals and the forest. \nIn a cinematic form that bridges filmmaking\, poetry and theatre\, the participants of the film project demonstrate rituals to get in touch with ancestors and local forest spirits and express how their ties to the land have become endangered as industries devastate the region through deforestation and mining. \nfilmproject Stones Have Laws

SUMMARY:Knotweed @ Kunstfort Vijfhuizen
DESCRIPTION:A performance by Sam Keogh \nUsing collage\, text and audio visual elements\, Sam Keogh’s new performance knots together several disparate strands of research on invasive species; landlord revenge; worker sabotage and foraged food trends. ‘Knotweed’ becomes a performance as root system\, rhizomaticaly undermining housing as commodity.

SUMMARY:Kings of Infinite Space @ Eye Filmmuseum
DESCRIPTION:Deze avond voor kunstenaars\, filmmakers\, dichters en VR-nauten is een verkenning tot een andere benadering van VR. Een die mediumbewust is en dus ook de uiterste grenzen van dat medium wil verkennen. Een die voor het symbolische van dit alles niet blind is. \nBlandine Joret (bestuurslid Vriza) zal een voordracht houden over de semiotiek van totale cinema\, een concept van filmtheoreticus Andre Bazin. \nBlandine Joret:\n“André Bazin’s realism: “a recreation of the world in its own image.” The connection that he draws between the world and the image is in harmony with his mythical project for cinema\, which argues that an imaginative myth of “total cinema” preceded its actual invention and thus moves beyond technological determinism.”

SUMMARY:Artists' Film Screening @ Lagos Photo
DESCRIPTION:At Lagos Photo 2017\, VRIZA presents a program of artist films engaging with the representation of truth by cinematographic means. The screening program includes five short films by international visual artists crossing the fields of fiction and documentary. The films meditate on the nature of the image as well as on definitions of nature. They are experiments with forms of realism\, animation\, and storytelling. The artists sometimes use image materials found in archives and/or their own\, recent digital recordings. In so doing\, the short films touch upon the relation between image technology and human memory. \nRead more…
