Sky over Holland

Documentary, 1967, 22 min.

Made for the 1967 Montreal World Expo, this dynamic documentary provides a whirlwind tour of the Netherlands. In this significant montage, astonishing views of the Dutch sky that were recorded using a 70mm panoramic camera mounted atop a fighter jet are positioned alongside landscapes painted by Dutch artists. And not only the well-known Dutch skies by the painters of the Golden Age: Mondriaan’s rigid blocks of color also resonate through the seemingly endless, brightly colored tulip fields. Dutch culture is also given a striking portrayal.
