Behind Your Walls
In true Zwartjes style, the filmmaker creates an intoxicating, surreal microcosm – this time through a bizarre pantomime featuring extras in heavy makeup.

Working with one of his most talented students, Zwartjes animated a series of photos to create an obsessive study of a favourite motif: the female nude. Paul de Nooijer’s debut, supported by his artistic father. Editing and colour effects connect still photos of Françoise de Nooijer to form a moving film. Explosive and erotic.

Tribute to Art #2
Rather than a documentary about Zwartjes, Scheffer made a film with him – a feverish dream of his major motifs. And a final moment of eye contact with the camera.
