Short Films: "At Home in the Netherlands"

Keeping the festival's "At Home" theme in mind, Leendert de Jong of the Filmhuis Den Haag put together a series of (ultra)-short Dutch films: 11.59 (Johan Kramer, 2004), about prejudice against young Moroccans and Turks, with Gouden Kalf-winner Nasrdin Dchar; Burka Boogie Woogie (Sietske Tjallingii, 2005), a sensual and graphic dance; Olifantenvoeten (Elephant's Feet) (Dan Geesin, 2011), about a "white foreigner"; Over Vis & Revolutie (On Fish & Revolution) (Margien Rogaar, 2008), about why Poles catch more fish; Rihla (Gerbrand Burger, 2009), about a man who travels from East to West; and Roken als een Turk (Smoking Like a Turk) (Remy Heugten, 2012), about the circumcision of a Turkish boy.
