The Old Harp

Short Film, 2011, 19 min.

In the 1920s, Slauerhoff visited China. Later, in 1930, he wrote the story Het Lente-eiland, in which he incorporated a thousand-year-old poem from the Tang Dynasty about an old harp. The film is a musical, but silent film poem in which typographic elements and archive footage connect the China from Slauerhoff?s era with modern-day China in an imaginary dialogue about the artist?s loneliness in the modern age.
