ANIMATED FILM IN OTHER WORDS AS PRE-FILM TO TIRZA
IN CINEMAS FROM SEPTEMBER 30

The short animated film IN OTHER WORDS by Joost Bakker will be shown in a number of cinemas starting September 30 as a short film preceding TIRZA by Rudolf van den Berg (selected as the Dutch entry for the Oscar).

This concerns the following cinemas:
Pathé De Munt Amsterdam, Pathé Tuschinski Amsterdam, Pathé Buitenhof The Hague, Pathé De Kuip Rotterdam, Pathé Eindhoven, Pathé Groningen, Pathé Rembrandt Arnhem, Pathé Zaandam, Pathé Maastricht, MustSee Breda, MustSee Delft and MustSee Tilburg.

The film is already screening at the 30th Netherlands Film Festival, where it is competing for the Golden Calf for Short Film.

An image from Michelangelo Antonioni's Deserto Rosso, in which a man and a woman bend over a billowing newspaper, inspired the maker.
As well as the musical piece Secreto by the Catalan composer Federico Mompou, which can be heard in its entirety in the film and brings with it a timeless, calm atmosphere.
Just like Antonioni, Joost Bakker uses the setting to portray the state of mind of his characters.
Joost Bakker's animations are 'living' drawings executed with charcoal and pencil using a computer. The animations have the spontaneity of a first sketch. The simplicity with which he creates the human extras is moving.
In the film, a newspaper article seems to bring a man and a woman closer together.

Joost Bakker (1977) studied at the Arnhem School of Arts and the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam. He received a scholarship for the NIAF (2007–2009). For his film LAAGTEVREZERS (2004), he received the René Coelho Prize Montevideo. His work is on display in various museums and galleries in the Netherlands and abroad.

IN OTHER WORDS was produced by Hanneke Stark (STARK film) and was made with the support of the Netherlands Film Fund and Pathé. Running time: 2'30
