Kunstgebouw, foundation of art and culture of the province of Zuid-Holland is
creating a project with the title 'Grenzeloos Kijken', in cooperation with
the international film festival Film by the Sea. This project is initiated to introduce the 10 new
members of the European Union to The Netherlands, using film as a medium. ‘Grenzeloos Kijken’ will be a part
of this year’s edition of Film by the Sea, the festival takes place in both
Scheveningen and Vlissingen. A
part of Grenzeloos Kijken is a commission
that Kunstgebouw gives to 10 filmmakers/ video artists to make a short film
portrait of each of the new EU members. They will work with found footage.
Found footage is film material that already exists and which the filmmaker
will give a new identity through editing. In the end we will have 10
portraits of 6 minutes, a total program of an hour. This will have its world
premiere during Film by the Sea in Scheveningen (between September 13-17,
2004) and will be shown at the festival in Vlissingen (September 10-19, 2004)
as well. After that it will tour through the art cinemas in Zuid Holland. Peter Bogers, a famous artist in The Netherlands, who had
already several exhibitions in prominent museums, would like to make a
portrait about Malta. He is interested in the combination of elements of the
Arabic culture and the West-Europe’s culture, especially in the several languages which are spoken
in Malta. We are looking forward to see his film. participating
