As a voice reads letters from a father to his daughter off camera, 20th century archival images from the Netherlands are shown. Fiona Tan touchingly explores what potential emerges when sound and image diverge.

A journey at high altitude seen through the eyes of three mysteriously connected hikers. After their coincidental meeting we follow these three on their personal odysseys. The levels of concentration they exhibit in trying to avoid mistakes makes their experience of the overwhelming landscape even more intense.

Through a grey blanket of clouds, we barely discern the contours of Mount Fuji, a volcano with many faces. 4,500 exceptional and diverse photographs from the past 150 years form the basis for Ascent. Made entirely with stills, it is a filmic experiment balancing between documentary and fiction, photography and film, where an English woman and her deceased Japanese partner, Hiroshi, lead the way. As Mount Fuji is climbed across geographical, temporal and cultural divides, the narrative unfolds, exploring unexpected paths.

Documentary about the development of the national airport over the past hundred years. With conversations with relatives of aviation pioneers such as Albert Plesman and Jan Dellaert, with virtually all Schiphol directors of the past decades and with local residents.

История, рассказываемая в фильме, произошла много лет назад, когда существовали короли и рыцари, а любовь, дружба и смелость значили куда больше чем всё остальное. Шестнадцатилетний юноша Тьюри ставит на карту всё своё будущее, когда умирающий рыцарь просит его доставить загадочное письмо королю. Это долгое и полное приключений путешествие поведёт его через леса и горы, где опасность будет поджидать на каждом шагу, поскольку многие хотят, чтобы письмо не дошло до короля, и готовы ради этого на всё.

In reframing and re-editing existing ethnographic films, Tan exposes their anthropological underpinnings and questions the conventions of filmmaking. What is the relationship between the observer and the observed? How can one ever know another? The voice-over, a fictional dialogue taken from Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities, may offer an answer. The explorer Marco Polo and Emperor Kublai Khan are speaking about travel and looking back on the past, when Polo observes, “The traveler recognises the little that is his, discovering the much he has not had and will never have.”
