Director
An autobiography dressed up as a documentary, dealing with everything related to poet Jules Deelder: poetry, war, dope, fancy suits and of course: Rotterdam.
EXITing
Writer
In the sixties, the founders of the magazine De Nieuwe Stijl were radiant stars in the Dutch literary heavens: Cornelis Bastiaan Vaandrager, Armando, Hans Sleutelaar and Hans Verhagen. Throughout his life, Vaandrager remained true to his ideals: you have to try everything. He became a poet, actor, father, writer, vagabond and junky, eventually ending up literally in the gutter.

Plan Delta
Director
According to director Bob Visser, Plan Delta (from 1983) is a 'time fiction', a film that examines rising sea levels in the future. Around the year 2300, a highly developed and a more primitive culture meet after catastrophic flooding. The former have lost their fertility, the latter have remained virile. Then a primitive woman is kidnapped by the other group to safeguard their future.
Het veld van eer
Writer
One day, Louis - who seems obsessed by weapons and all things related – visits his old school friend Ada. She is quickly won over and not long after they marry. After the wedding their honeymoon takes them to Verdun in northern France, where over 500,000 soldiers died during the First World War. Louis runs from one monument and cemetery to the next, like someone possessed, salivating because of how hard the fighting was there. Ada feels increasingly uneasy with her new husband. One day, he purposely has himself and Ada locked in at Fort Douamont where terrible events took place during the war. There he turns out to be a stark raving maniac.
