In Nederland wordt er elke twee weken een vrouw vermoord door haar (ex)-partner. Vaker wel dan niet zijn daar kinderen bij betrokken, als getuige en/of nabestaande. In 2024 was dit de realiteit voor maar liefst 23 kinderen. Wat doet het met je identiteit als je kind van zowel de dader als het slachtoffer bent? <img width="6283" height="3511" width_o="6283" height_o="3511" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6c7c88c40407fca354faed575416cb5485c79b08a35bf70d674ebdce43cf2d88/perla-aurora-topshot-woonkamer.jpeg" data-mid="240235025" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6c7c88c40407fca354faed575416cb5485c79b08a35bf70d674ebdce43cf2d88/perla-aurora-topshot-woonkamer.jpeg" /> In de documentaire ‘Blauwdruk’ vertelt regisseur Sara Kolster samen met ervaringsdeskundige Perla Joy het verhaal van vier vrouwen die als kind hun moeder verloren door femicide. Maeve (59), Roser (47) en de zussen Perla (33) en Aurora (35) verloren elk op één dag hun moeder, hun vader én hun veilige thuis. Hun vader was de dader. In een grote, lege ruimte delen ze hun ervaringen. Over die ene dag, over hoe het kon gebeuren én de impact daarna.

Sindsdien leeft ze in een huis vol herinneringen. Omdat Kess voor het eerst naar de middelbare school gaat en nieuwe vrienden gaat maken, vraagt ze zich af of ze over de dood van haar zus moet vertellen of dat ze haar, in gedachten, voor zichzelf wil houden. Het is zomer en Kess viert vakantie met haar vriendinnen. Ze heeft net afscheid genomen van de basisschool en bereidt zich voor op de overgang naar de middelbare. In deze korte film over rouw en identiteit stelt Kess zichzelf de vraag in hoeverre ze wil dat haar nieuwe klasgenoten weten over haar overleden zus. Ze praat sowieso niet graag over dingen die met Bo te maken hebben, tenzij het een hele goeie vriend of vriendin betreft. Ze wil niet dat zij medelijden met haar hebben; ze wil onafhankelijk van haar zus beschouwd worden en haar eigen verhaal creëren. De gedachten van Kess en de dingen die ze over Bo vertelt worden vergezeld door oude videobeelden van de zussen en door animaties in inkt, gemaakt door Sara Kolster en Tonke Koppelaar. Wolkenzusje toont de impact van verlies op jonge leeftijd door de ogen van een jongere zus wier leven gewoon doorgaat. "Soms ben ik uit het niets verdrietig en dan weet ik niet waarom."

She has just said farewell to elementary school and is getting ready to start high school. Her older sister Bo died when Kess was nearly five years old, and she’s been living in a houseful of memories ever since. She keeps Bo’s things close to her, and hopes that the two of them will stay connected somehow. But she’s scared that her memories of Bo will fade with time. Kess shares her thoughts and talks about Bo. Her voice is accompanied by ink animations and old videos of the sisters together. In this touching short film about grief and identity, Kess wonders how much she wants to share with her new classmates about her sister. She doesn’t want them to pity her. She hopes to be seen as independent from her sister, and to create her own story.

While Lena is busy dissecting an owl pellet, her father is swallowed by his own memories. They are having a conversation, but at the same time, they aren't. Without knowing, they are both thinking about the same: the loss of Lisa, her sister and his daughter. As a viewer you find yourself in the head of the father or the daughter and you experience the two different perspectives. Sit down, take one of the two seats and let yourself be carried away in a fictitious reality about forgetting and remembering. About life and death. Out of sight is a concept by director Sara Kolster in close collaboration with author Jaap Robben. Together with illustrator Gijs Kast and the developers from Zesbaans the VR was realised. The plan for Out of Sight arose following the VR Drawing Room which won the prestigious IDFA Doclab Award for Digital Storytelling. Out of sight was commissioned by the Dutch Foundation for Literature and Fund Creative Industries NL for the Frankfurt Book Fair in 2016 where Flanders and the Netherlands being the Guest of Honour.

Experiencing such a reality through an intimate and constant flow of information will give you a chance to really spend time with Amanda and the other women on this bus, and understand the consequences of their situation. During the course of her ride you will receive short audiovisual messages. Your time is parallel to the journey time. So when it’s 10.30 for you, it’s also 10.30 for Amanda. This bus journey will allow you to enter Amanda’s world, listen to her thoughts and reflections while she is on the bus and learn about these women who keep visiting their men in prison – with persistence and love. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/24602d7fefec151bc90227bb7b3f88f076de199d9fd44ec9e3ec161406e510cc/01_atempc_h_300-window-big.jpg" data-mid="19339642" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/24602d7fefec151bc90227bb7b3f88f076de199d9fd44ec9e3ec161406e510cc/01_atempc_h_300-window-big.jpg" />Fogged view from the bus | Still from the documentary Unusual journeyWomen and children gather on the busy side walk of 34th street in midtown, New York City. Some shelter from the heaving crowds in the McDonald's, staring out the big glass window, waiting for their bus to arrive. They are all carrying stuffed travel bags, many take pillows and blankets with them, some have their hair wrapped up, ready for a night of sleep. The waiting is long, the bus is late… When the bus finally appears, they line up and greet the driver, Junior, as they board. This private bus service leaves every weekend to transport families visiting their loved ones in the far away upstate prison facilities. There is no public transport to take you to these ‘prison towns’. It’s a 15 hours travel through the rural landscapes of New York State. The busses travel directly to the prisons. Mothers, sisters, girlfriends, wives and children take this trip frequently – and in some way they are incarcerated with their loved ones. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d2d0f6fc5a0da4e852ed74f4980d2f2351f768bcc7882db7ef11fef9a3b1603c/20170915-Selects_19.jpeg" data-mid="19339795" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d2d0f6fc5a0da4e852ed74f4980d2f2351f768bcc7882db7ef11fef9a3b1603c/20170915-Selects_19.jpeg" /> Polaroid made during the prison visit https://sarakolster.com/Drawing-Room Mon, 19 Oct 2015 14:16:19 +0000 sarakolster https://sarakolster.com/Drawing-Room DRAWING ROOM2015 Virtual Reality w/ Jan Rothuizen &amp; Zesbaans <img width="1004" height="631" width_o="1004" height_o="631" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fdb37f1237d706bc486d15d7178a5fdfebd42ff1551039cfa39288445c7fb694/dr_screenshot03.png" data-mid="18648171" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fdb37f1237d706bc486d15d7178a5fdfebd42ff1551039cfa39288445c7fb694/dr_screenshot03.png" /> Together with Jan Rothuizen and studio Zesbaans we created the 360º virtual reality drawing ‘Drawing Room’ in Room On the Roof. As a viewer you will be part of a drawn reality in which real and unreal unite. Immerse yourself in the vision of Rothuizen with the help of Oculus Rift glasses, Google cardboard or the browser from your tablet or computer. Synposis Drawing Room is a ‘Drawn Reality’ inspired by the tower room on the roof of De Bijenkorf department store in Amsterdam. The oldes department store in the city invited Rothuizen to spend some time there: to take in the view, to wave to the people down on Dam Square, or just to do nothing for a while. Starting this year, De Bijenkorf is inviing creative people of all stripes to find inspiration and create. This is part of a new strategy that’s geared less to the goods and more towards having a ‘premium experience’. What that exactly is, Rothuizen can tell you in his ‘drawn reality’, in which real and not real seamlessly merge. However ‘premium’ this location may be, the view doesn’t immediately grant any insight. Take a good look around you: Rothuizen’s sharp observations are playfully spread across his virtual canvas. Youtube 360: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6a3QlFOeYs Unity: http://roomontheroof.com/assets/apps/janrothuizen/ The virtual tower ‘Drawing Room’ was shown in de Bijenkorf Amsterdam on the fifth floor in October 2015.

The animations are hand drawn and made with the stopmotion technique. Director Sara Kolster (38) was five years old when her little sister Anna died. Her first memory after this profound experience is the birth of her new sister. The period in between is a blur. To find out how she dealt with this loss, she made a radio documentary for Dutch public broadcaster VPRO. She interviewed people that were involved in her life back then. And she spoke to six children of around ten years old, who have also lost their brother or sister. The stories of three of these children are in the animations.

Her three year old sister Anna died twelve days after Sara's birthday. There are some vague memories, such as a kitchen full of people, the small pink hat that was knitted, the cold kiss in the coffin and her mother crying behind the ironing board. Actually, her memories begin only after the birth of her new sister, two years later. As she sees her own five-year-old daughter Yuki, Sara becomes increasingly curious about her own little version. What did she notice about Anna's death? Did she grieve? And was there even room for that? Through a reconstruction, Sara tries to organise her memories and connect pieces of the puzzle. At home they did not speak about Anna's death, but through making this documentary Sara changes this. She calls her kindergarten teacher, starts a conversation with her uncle and aunt, talks to her younger sister, visits her old home with her best girlfriend and prepares herself for the difficult confrontation with her parents. Did they still see Sara, or were they absorbed by their own grief? In between, Sara talks with her five-year-old daughter, Yuki, who has strikingly sharp questions and observations. "Where were you actually when she died? Were you alone then? Did you have to cry a little? " She also interviewed three young children who, like Sara, have lost a brother or sister. The moving conversations are constructed to a recurring echo, reminding Sara of having the same kind of experience as a little girl.

The project contains work made over a period of 20 years and consists of a web documentary (together with Eefje Blankevoort), a book and exhibition. Imperial Courts was built in 1944 on the corner of 116th Street and Imperial Highway in Watts, Los Angeles. Part of a major social housing development, it attracted predominantly African-American migrants from the southern states. Imperial Courts and the neighborhoods around it soon became a ghetto, beyond which African-Americans were not welcome. Frustration at the racial discrimination and social isolation boiled over into the notorious Watts riots of 1965. Widespread riots erupted again in 1992, following the acquittal of four white LAPD officers accused of the brutal beating of Rodney King. Over the years, Imperial Courts has gone from being the epicenter of race riots to an anonymous deprived neighborhood. The media attention has died down, but the lives of the residents go on. <img width="400" height="796" width_o="400" height_o="796" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d680698adcbc5aedff0913279a78a36e0eb86ad31b431b0d3359be10472beca5/IC_mockup_home_web.png" data-mid="18648184" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/400/i/d680698adcbc5aedff0913279a78a36e0eb86ad31b431b0d3359be10472beca5/IC_mockup_home_web.png" /> <img width="400" height="796" width_o="400" height_o="796" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/66e0f9345352de2729c0d6721ffc7b1d4b7d31a86a0ad81187bd151e08a07988/IC_mockup_annie_web.png" data-mid="18648182" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/400/i/66e0f9345352de2729c0d6721ffc7b1d4b7d31a86a0ad81187bd151e08a07988/IC_mockup_annie_web.png" /> <img width="400" height="796" width_o="400" height_o="796" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1a141a2a78f596af344fe16bdae3d165ef2506c8972e13b443849a550eefb625/IC_mockup_fresh_web.png" data-mid="18648183" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/400/i/1a141a2a78f596af344fe16bdae3d165ef2506c8972e13b443849a550eefb625/IC_mockup_fresh_web.png" /> The web documentary consists of three parts: Portraits and Stories, and contributions by Imperial Courts residents. ‘Portraits’ encompasses all the portraits Dana Lixenberg has made between 1993-2015. ‘Stories’ combines her photography with audio, video and short texts to tell short poetic stories about daily life in Imperial Courts. With the ongoing contributions by Imperial Courts residents, the project aims to build an online historiography of which the residents are both protagonists and co-authors.
