Hazentijd, A Documentary On Han Bennink

Documentary film on visual artist / percussionist Han Bennink, which depicts his development from youth into the uncompromising improviser he is today. By the closing credits, we can understand why he might be called "an Indian from the Netherlands".

AFIJN (Misha Mengelberg)

This feature-length documentary chronicles the life and playful methods of Dutch pianist and composer Misha Mengelberg, a significant figure in post-WWII European Jazz and free improvisation. Archival footage, rehearsal / performance sequences and interviews with both Mengelberg (the "godfather of Dutch improvised music") and key collaborators provide a clear insight in Mengelberg's original way of thinking and way of working.
