Cadavre Exquis

Short documentary, 2004, 36 min.

Film is more than the standard series of images telling a chronological story with a beginning, middle and end. Through interviews and fragments, Cadavre Exquis introduces five experimental filmmakers, thereby showing the different aspects of experimental cinema in the Netherlands. Sometimes it literally involves experiments. One of the makers, Gerard Holthuis, puts someone in a swimming pool with a wave generator and drenches her in water until her resistance breaks. That is the moment he wants to capture. Lonnie van Brummelens had to say goodbye to an plaster statue she had used in an earlier film. In extracts, we see how she drags the statue along behind her until it has completely decayed. Cadavre Exquis draws attention to experimental film in the Netherlands.
