DESTINY

Netherlands 2011 – Director: Sjoerd Oostrik – Original language: Dutch – Subtitles: English – Length: 22 min.

Destiny sits in her pushchair while her mother, Cheryl, waits in the early morning darkness for her child’s father to come through the door. The young mother needs money so she can pay the rent; she needs time so she can to school and she needs help to instil some order in her life. The door won’t open – the father won’t be there for Cheryl today. All that remains is for her is to walk around with the pushchair throughout the night again. Cheryl’s life is a balancing act between her roles as schoolgirl, daughter, mother and young woman.
In delicate scenes the film illustrates with a gentle rhythm what it means to be forced to live life on the margins. Jan Sebening

WENN ICH DICH NICHT HÄTTE

Netherlands 2011 – Director: Anne-Marieke Graafmans – Original language: Dutch – Subtitles: English – Length: 23 min.

A rusty old VW Camper is stuck on the hard shoulder of the motorway with its indicators on in the middle of the night - at a standstill once again. We are travelling with an Amsterdam couple. What does it mean to have found each other after so many years? To fall in love once again in old age, to live together and take to the road? How do they cope with life, with its small pleasures and big traumas? The answers to these questions are provided in an observational piece that is as gentle as it is precise. Layer by layer the film uncovers two biographies. The fixing of a camper van becomes an ode to love. Jan Sebening
