Rob van Hattum, A Portrait

Jun 17, 2010 | Posts, Film

This spring I filmed a short portrait documentary of Rob van Hattum, Film director for Science Programs at VPRO Broadcasting Company and Creative Director at NEMO science center in Amsterdam.

This short version was made as an assignment for the Art Academy I’m currently enrolled in. There are still plans to make a longer version of the portrait, though due to lack of time available for such an undertaking this summer and other opportunities presenting themselves, the project will be pushed back. I have no insight yet as to when I’ll have time for it.

It was a one man operation start to finish. I did the research, filmed, edited and created the opening/endcredits & theme. With the kind permission of the VPRO and the wonderful co-operation of Mr. van Hattum, here now is the final result of my efforts. Unfortunately it is in Dutch, English subtitles are still on my to-do list.

An attempt to unblock myself

For many years now, I have enacted violence upon myself by stifling my thoughts and expressions. It is time for change.

My dad who is nearly 81 years old, is really into space. I thought it would be fun to write a basic introduction to the cosmos for him.

Just a dream

Sampling into Assimil8or

A critic in time

Today I spent some time selecting poems I wrote in my early 20’s for the website. It feels strange to critique myself and my poetry 20-some years later.
