Born in 1963 , Dick Tuinder can best be described as a visual artist, writer, essayist, and filmmaker.
He graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam in 1988 and has numerous exhibitions and publications to his name.
This Wednesday night we will be presenting 5 recent short films which have all been presented on film festivals in The Netherlands and internationally.
1.Later,(8 minutes). Constructed with animation and filmed material reflecting the artist as a child. Out of a traumatic experience the timelessness and self-assuredness in his world fall apart as he discovers the up to this point indefinable and mysterious later.This short film was made on commission by the Music Ensemble Brisk which supplied specific music composed by Indonesian-Dutch composer Roy Kushel.
2. Rimbaud In Amsterdam,( 6 minutes). Filmed from behind a bedroom window the actions of five young men showing the complex relation between them. Is it a dance or a fight? With original music by Ramon Dos Santos.
3.Most Things Never Happen,( 11 minutes). “Reality always happens when you least expect it. And than when it happens, it mostly don’t” Where are the things kept that never happens. Sally De Winter, a nine year old girl is out to find out this question, through a magic door , to the “backstage of reality”.
