Satire in film: the film choice of animation filmmaker Gerrit van Dijk
Both nationally and internationally Van Dijk is known as a leading animation filmmaker. He sees his animation films as 'moving paintings', offering him the possibilities to influence the element of 'time' in his work. He shows a great social engagement, as appears in Jute (1997) in which he speaks out on once controversial subjects such as apartheid and the presence of Dutch UN soldiers in Lebanon. Gerrit van Dijk showed a selection of his films and told about the role of satire in his work. Dutch spoken.
