Fredericke Jochems will introduce new films by herself and two other Amsterdam-based filmmakers, Andras Hammelberg and Claudia Koelgen. All three work with film sound in complex and innovative ways, ranging from natural ambient ones in Hammelberg’s beautifully photographed The Stone, a quasi-narrative portrait of Old World alienation, through purely musical tracks as in Jochems’ allegorical Duet for Cello and Film and Koelgen’s formal Ricercar. Other films shown include Jochems’ Ballad of a Balustrade and The Train (both super-8) and Koelgen’s Wende. Jochems will also discuss independent filmmaking in Northern Europe today.
