Poems from the Sea
2005, Dutch. Directed by Erik de Bruyn & Ate de Jong & Kees Hin & David Lammers & Anne van de Putte & Digna Sinke & Clara van Gool & Jan Wouter van Reijen & Jos de Putter.
During the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2002, Leo Hannewijk (festival director Film by the Sea) approached filmmaker and producer Digna Sinke with the idea of asking several film makers to make short films based on poems about the province of Zeeland. It would offer an opportunity to investigate the limits of the medium film and, just like poetry, not to focus on the story but to tackle universal and grander themes through mood and form. In the end, eight short films were realized, by eight different filmmakers. The films are connected by intermezzi, aerial shots of the Zeeland coasts. Poems of the Sea is a stirring and surprising portrayal of Zeeland. Filled with desires and passion.
