Henri Plaat (trailer) // BIEFF 2012

Bucharest International Experimental Film Festival (BIEFF) 2012 We enjoy your love for total creative freedom & lack of compromise cinema! - IDFA Paradocs special program - HENRI PLAAT (7’, Netherlands, 2010, dir: Jerome Schlomoff) A subjective portrayal of the Dutch visual artist HENRI PLAAT, who is recording with a 35 mm pinhole camera the processing of a silver print. While the image is being created in the dark room of the photo laboratory, revealing Henri Plaat’s face impregnated on the silver plate, his hands are building from small pieces of cardboard, an imaginary universe: the paper shapes resemble houses, boats, animals and other images that exist in the artist’s world. Thus, in a lyrical fashion, JÉRÔME SCHLOMOFF brings a metaphorical homage to this artist of the fleeting world, who once stated: “I want to register places and things before they get destroyed by modernity and progression. Before they are lost forever.“ http://ww
