Looking for Apoekoe

Short Film, 2010, 13 min.

For this short experimental film, director Karel Doing drew inspiration from the lively and fickle forest spirit Apoekoe. The film mixes colour and black-and-white pictures and occasionally separates the soundtrack from the images. Framed by verses by Dorus Vrede, we see an associative trip across the virgin Suriname rainforest: a boat sails on the river; a man cracks open a coconut; a woman drinks from a creek.
