Het universum van Jaap Pieters

Barbara den Uyl | Netherlands | 2015 | 47' |

| IFFR 2015

Charming portrait of Jaap Pieters, lover of life among Super8 filmmakers, who says he lives in a world different to the one the world is in. His films reveal a fascination for society’s rough edges and the beauty of existence. He also takes a lot of photos, mostly in his own home, where time moves at its slowest.
