It’s always party time with the De Nooijer family at home. Innocent pleasure or a political film?

Two men in chairs by the open hearth; photos move in front of their heads.

First film by Paul de Nooijer, in collaboration with his artistic father Frans Zwartjes. Moving Stills shows a series of photographs by Françoise de Nooijer, which are joined, by means of editing and colour effects, and turned into a moving picture. The erotic image gets an explosive charge. (filmcommission.nl)

Exit is a flashback by a man of fifty. He remembers the moment when, as a young photographer, he was realising an exhibition of his own artistic work when he was unexpectedly commissioned to make a music video. The offer at first seems like the answer to his financial and personal woes, but during the preparations, a childhood trauma he has not come to terms with ensures unexpected complications and everything threatens to turn into a fiasco.

This is a film, that was a picture. What’s the difference? Photography takes time away, film adds time.

What was young gets old, what was healthy is sick. Uncertainty has crept in. What started out tough ends in melancholy. In that sense, this is a farewell.

Strip Show 1850 (11 min.) is a remarkably detailed yet simple film on Zeeland's magnificent traditional costumes, which are removed layer by layer. This short costume drama gives new meaning to the museum film genre. Strip Show 1850 is part of a series of museum films specially produced by Paul and Menno de Nooijer for the reopening of the Zeeland Museum.

Stop motion

First of three versions of Transformation by Holding Time, films with the duration of one film reel in which the screen is gradually filled with Polaroids, made in one shot from one angle, without editing. In this version, the film camera registers the filmmaker who is on a moor taking Polaroid pictures of the film camera.
