Peter Hoogendoorn debuted very strongly almost ten years ago with Tussen 10 en 12 (Between 10 and 12), a rigidly structured movie set in a limited time-space. In it, a family one by one get told bad news by two police officers, and go on a sort-of road movie to inform the rest of the family. His new film Three Days of Fish (original title is Drie Dagen Vis) has three of the same central elements: the threat of bad news hanging over the head of the protagonist; a limited time-frame (three days in this case); and a road-movie deconstruction, as this new one is sort of a road movie without them ever really hitting the road properly. Still, Three Days of Fish couldn't be...

Peter Hoogendoorn brings a gentle touch to examining family tensions in his sophomore feature, Three Days of Fish. With this film, the Dutch writer-director delves once more into personal themes, exploring a father-son dynamic not unlike his own concerns for his aging parent.
Gerrie makes his yearly trip from Portugal to the Netherlands. There he will catch up on medical affairs and attempt to spend time with his adult son, Dick. Though residing apart, distance has done little to heal the disconnect between these two reserved men. Both struggle to express what they want from one another.
Under Hoogendoorn’s sensitive guidance, what emerges is an intimate portrait of familial awkwardness many can relate to. When loved ones with fraught histories try reconnecting, normal interactions take on new intensities. Empathy and apprehension color each exchange between Gerrie and Dick during these brief days together in Rotterdam. While searching for closeness,...

Mark Cousins’ portrait of a British modernist painter, “A Sudden Glimpse to Deeper Things,” took the Karlovy Vary Film Festival top prize Saturday, winning over a jury that included Christine Vachon and Geoffrey Rush with its perceptive take on art and seeing.
Cousins said the film’s subject, painter Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, “lived completely, truly and utterly – let’s try to do that.”
Norwegian divorce story “Loveable” won the Crystal Globe jury prize, as well as three other awards categories, taking home the Fipresci, ecumenical and Europa Cinemas Label prizes with its nuanced look at a woman morphing into a new life.
Director Lilja Ingolfsdottir scored big with her first feature-length drama with “Loveable,” telling the audience at the Hotel Thermal Grand Hall the story helped her “find barriers we have built against connections.”

‘Three Days of Fish’ Review: A Warm Breeze of Melancholy Runs Through This Dutch Father-Son Portrait
If Alexander Payne’s home discomforts weren’t Nebraskan but instead the soft climate and flat sidewalks of Rotterdam — if his name were Alexander Peijn, perhaps — his films might turn out a little like Peter Hoogendoorn’s hangdog charmer “Three Days of Fish.” At once universally familiar and so quintessentially Dutch in flavor that it should come with a side of fritessaus, this story of a brief, fraught reunion between a distant father and his unmoored son is an intimate, closely examined character piece rooted in the director’s own family history — much like his debut “Between 10 and 12,” which premiered at Venice in 2014 but never found the international distribution it deserved. Bowing in competition at Karlovy Vary, this decade-later sophomore feature may be modestly built, but has enough emotional heft and wry humor to raise Hoogendoorn’s profile on the arthouse circuit.

Three Days of Fish, the sophomore feature outing from Dutch director Peter Hoogendoorn (Between 10 and 12) had its world premiere in the main competition of the 58th edition of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (Kviff) this weekend.
“Just as he does every year, dad flies from sunny Portugal for a three-day visit to the Netherlands, the drab country of his birth,” reads the film description on the fest website. “He has his usual errands to run and he visits his doctor for his annual check-up, accompanied by his eccentric grown-up son.”
The film’s cast is led by Ton Kas and Guido Pollemans. Highlighted the fest programmers: “This intimate film offers a glimpse into the relationship between two men who have grown apart yet, as they engage in seemingly mundane activities, little by little they try to find their way back to one another.”

A deadpan comedy with a lot of heart, Peter Hoogendoorn's sophomore feature contemplates the complexities of fractured familial relationships. Focusing on the struggle of a father and son, who are both equally uncommunicative, to reconnect, it weaves an intimate story driven by wry humour and unexpected heartache. Shot in black-and-white, Three Days Of Fish exhibits a modest space carefully crafted around the two leads. Constantly pulling back in the interactions, the protagonists allow physical distance to become a poignant third character - a reminder of their difficulties, mistakes and ultimately their endearing effort to restore their bond.
Gerrie (Ton Kas), a Dutch man in his sixties returns to his home country for his annual health check-up. He meets with Dick (Guido Pollemans), his adult son, who's expecting to spend some quality time with his father before he returns to Portugal. From the get-go, their interaction is stiff, greeting each other with.

Among the lineup is A Sudden Glimpse to Deeper Things, the latest film from prolific documentary filmmaker Mark Cousin. The film’s synopsis reads: One of the most important women in British modern art, the painter Wilhelmina Barns-Graham was a highly inspirational figure, whose work was deeply impacted by a pivotal event in her life. In May 1949, this leading representative of the modernist St Ives group of artists climbed to the top of the Grindelwald glacier in Switzerland, an experience which was to transform the way she saw the world.

Karel Och, artistic director of Karlovy Vary, said Tuesday that he’d identified a number of themes and genre in the selection, which included “a freshly revisionist take on the esthetical canons of a period film; a balanced, caring but also provocative look on the fate of a woman in the contemporary society in any moment of her life; and the immediate influence of political events on the life of an individual human being anywhere in the world.”

What a surprising city Rotterdam is and the Festival and Cinemart are full of surprises too.
Being in The Netherlands is like a homecoming for me. My first major job in the film industry was with 20th Century Fox International and City Fox Films in Amsterdam in 1975 which is when I first attended the International Film Festival of Rotterdam, three years after its founding by Huub Bals. It was much smaller then. Iffr’s logo is a tiger, loosely based on the M.G.M. lion as an alternative. From the beginning, the festival has profiled itself as a promoter of alternative, innovative and non-commercial films, with an emphasis on the Far East and developing countries. It has become one of the most important events in the film world, an integral part of the winter circuit of Sundance, Rotterdam and Berlin Film Festivals.

Though the International Film Festival Rotterdam (Iffr) is going on its 46th year and its Cinemart on its 35th, 2017 marks only the third year since festival director Bero Beyer, a former producer, continues to reshape the event into a more focused selection of film projects whose life on the film circuit will have an impact beyond the festival scene itself, a field that is becoming increasingly crowded for many reasons which would take another article to explain.
But there will be quite a discussion about this very issue.The Rotterdam Cinemart, the first co-production market ever, started in 1982 and brought the then-small international film community together in a uniquely egalitarian and intimate way that only the Dutch could offer. In many ways it became a victim of its own success, mentoring similar events in Hong Kong and So. Korea and then copied by numerous others, but without the care and warmth of the original event.

Real-time ensemble drama begins filming in Rotterdam.
Peter Hoogendoorn’s debut feature, a real time ensemble drama produced by Keren Cogan Films and Phanta Film and co-producers Limited (France), Mindsmeet (Belgium) and Dutch broadcaster Avro has begun.
The film will be released in Dutch cinemas by Amstelfilm in 2014.
Set on a typical summer’s day, a devastating piece of news is delivered by two officers in a police car that changes the lives of a family forever. As the journey progresses, the vehicle becomes more crowded with family members and reveals their inner turmoil.
Hoogendoorn developed the script at the Binger Filmlab in Amsterdam. The project was presented at the CineMart at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2010. The film is supported by Eurimages, the Dutch Film Fund, Screen Flanders, Region Alsace and CoBO and will be distributed by Amstelfilm.

Former Oscar winner Mike van Diem’s The Surprise and BBC backed series The White Queen [pictured] are among the recipients in the first funding round from the new Screen Flanders economic fund.
A total amount of €4,995,000 ($6,678,685) is to be distributed in the fund’s inaugural call.
The next call for projects closes on 28 June. The final call for 2013 opens from Sept 1 and closes on Oct 25. Another €5 million will be divided among applicants in both remaining calls.
Sitting alongside the Belgian Tax Shelter, the new fund is bound to boost the region’s appeal for coproduction and inward investment yet further. The aim of the selective system is to support (co-) productions that are made, in part or entirely, in the Flanders region. One of the conditions is that the project spends a minimum of €250,000 ($334,205) in the region. The 20 supported titles together stand for well over €20 million ($26,7m)of audiovisual expenses in the Flanders region.
