Acoustic Routes
1992
star 7The story of seminal guitarist and singer Bert Jansch, from his early days in Edinburgh, Scotland, to becoming the acoustic guitarist that everyone wanted to be. As a teenager, in the early 1960's Bert sat at the feet of Brownie McGhee at the Howff Folk Club in Edinburgh mesmerised by 'Key to the Highway'. Armed with that raw American Blues influence and a bewildering technique, he fashioned sublime interpretations of traditional and blues music on the acoustic guitar. The result was music that had a profound influence on a generation of musicians including Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and Neil Young, and it still inspires todays' generation of guitarists and singers.Lord of the Logos

2024
"I started to compose other things, life-relevant things. That could tell someone something. And coincidentally, a dialogue began to form between Isaiah and these new songs. A dialogue of almost two cries that shout at each other." Duarte Rosado SJ. The documentary is actually a look at this dialogue between Isaiah and the new songs of Duarte. A testimony to fragility as a place of grace. In addition to the practical effect of recording the day of the recording, this short documentary seeks to suspend a space and time where the prophecy of Isaiah and the human condition touch.

Valparaiso
1964
star 7In 1962 Joris Ivens was invited to Chile for teaching and filmmaking. Together with students he made …A Valparaíso, one of his most poetic films. Contrasting the prestigious history of the seaport with the present the film sketches a portrait of the city, built on 42 hills, with its wealth and poverty, its daily life on the streets, the stairs, the rack railways and in the bars. Although the port has lost its importance, the rich past is still present in the impoverished city. The film echoes this ambiguous situation in its dialectical poetic style, interweaving the daily life reality (of 1963) with the history of the city and changing from black and white to colour, finally leaving us with hopeful perspective for the children who are playing on the stairs and hills of this beautiful town.Moord op Pim Fortuyn
