The Breath of Life
Director of Photography
After a near-fatal accident, filmmaker Guido van der Werve muses about the highs and lows of his own life as he endures a long process of recovery. Instead of a linear narrative, Nummer achttien is structured as a series of movements: it departs from the classical documentary to present us with a series of vignettes that combine past and present, existentialist despair and deadpan humour, reflection and creativity, the joys and pains of remembering and forgetting.
Georgica
Director of Photography
A contemplative look at the achievements of large-scale farming practices on the Dutch Flevo polder, guided by Virgil's didactic poem Georgica.
Number Fourteen, Home
Camera Operator
Dutch artist Guido van der Werve runs, bikes, and swims nearly 1,200 miles from Warsaw’s Church of the Holy Cross to Paris’s Père Lachaise cemetery.
Bullet Bird
Camera Operator
A bullet is fired through many thin glass plates. We follow it along its journey through the several steps until the final confrontation, when the bullet is literally stopped by the last thin glass plate. The film explores the beauty within the concepts of evolution, development, energy and profusion.
Number Eight
Camera Operator
A film that follows a man walking on an ice covered bay only few meters in front of a huge icebreaker.
