A compilation of six standalone short films, each inspired by a contemporary Dutch music composition and created as part of a collaboration between Nederlandse film directors and composers for a Holland Festival presentation.

1970 film by Johan van der Keuken

Three-part film about the Dutch painter and poet Lucebert who died in 1994. Director Johan van der Keuken made three short films about his friend and inspiration Lucebert. The black-and-white film Lucebert, dichter-schilder was shot in 1962 on a very low budget. In 1967 Een film voor Lucebert was released. Unlike Van der Keuken's first film about Lucebert, this one had a political message. It is a film for an artist about the world. Lucebert died in May 1994. A reaction to his death is contained in Als je weet waar ik ben zoek me dan. In this film, shot in Lucebert's studio, the presence of the artist is evoked once more through his absence. In Lucebert, Time and Farewell, Van der Keuken puts the three films together into a new entity that exploits the tension between changing and standing still over a period of 32 years.

Two years after making his film BLIND KIND, Van der Keuken contacted the blind boy that had impressed him most at the time.

La mer des Wadden s’étend des Pays-Bas au Danemark. Le réalisateur explore la région côtière, les paysages sauvages sont peu à peu envahis par l’Homme : les campings et les usines succèdent aux pêcheurs...

Shot in Lebanon in 1975 just before the civil war. The director delivers a nuanced account of the complexities surrounding the Palestinian issue.

This rather minor effort simply tacks together all of the post-shot bits where van der Keuken pans over to Noshka Van der Lely to capture her striking the wind sock on her boom microphone, thus enabling synchronization in post production. It's sort of a fast tour through hundreds of shots and comes off as little more than a novelty.

With the use of montage sequences, voiced over with the observations of the children, van der Keuken was able to use artistic expression to portray the sightless children’s unique perspective of the world.

在约翰·范德·库肯（Johan van der Keuken）的城市微妙而诱人的肖像中，相机有时是观察者。它滑过运河，穿过城镇上空的街道，瞥见坐在咖啡馆中的匿名人士，他们凝视着窗户，聚集在公园中。然后，出于兴趣，相机进来与某人共度时光，进行短暂的访问或更持久的旅程。车臣商人，摩洛哥自行车快递员，犹太老人歌手和玻利维亚音乐人的生活交织成密集而复杂的结构-一系列主题上的变化。一个人提出的想法会被另一个人回答；城市中的房屋与遥远国家的原始房屋相关联。范德·库肯（Van der Keuken）慢慢揭示了流放和流离失所的历史，阿姆斯特丹由此演变成了一个全球性村庄。
