Groeten uit Rotterdam

Collection of documentary shorts by various acclaimed directors

In 1980 film writer Ruud den Drijver goes head to head with two notorious Dutch film directors, Paul Verhoeven and Wim Verstappen, passionate film makers, competitors and colleagues in a free for all heated discussion ranging (among other subjects) from oral sex to the art of motion pictures. 25 years later the confrontation is continued during the Cannes Film Festival. In the meantime Wim Verstappen has died a year earlier and Paul Verhoeven has returned from a brilliant career in the States. Paul is still very outspoken. He talks freely about the present-day neo-conservative policies of America, and about the situation in Hollywood and his work. THAT'S IT!!(English title)(1980-2005) is a retrospective view on the careers of two driven film directors and is a hilarious time document larded with passionate statements.

A portrait of a contemporary, artist and drug user.

One girl and three boys tell their story. The drugs did great harm to the users. The girl is suffering from a disease caused by the LSD, an opium-user got into prison and a speed-user was treated several times in a clinic. The fourth is still on opium and speed. The film was made for several youth-centers in Rotterdam.

In this announcement/anti-commercial for the Rock Against Religion concert in Kaasee Rotterdam (1979), you can hear ear-splitting punk by Rode Wig and REVO. Kassee burnt to the ground, the bands disappeared and singer Aram Slappendel only made the headlines again when – in a haze of black magic, speed and LSD – he killed two of his girlfriends and himself.

A humorous portrait of a young man with a working class background who turns into an anarchist punk. Over the years, however, he changes into a genuine bourgeois with conservative opinions. Anarchy is no more.
