“FLORIDA TALES” (FILM)
Thomas, a 24-year-old young filmmaker from Amsterdam, quietly recovering from a recent manic episode gone wrong, embarks on the trip of his life across Florida. The Journey of an Angry Young Man lost on the road down a familiar path of medication, therapy and self reflection seeking the correlation between his and others' creative genius and their mental health…
“POPS” (DOC)
"POPS" is the intimate autobiographical portrait of P.A. Both, a true Amsterdam original, as he reflects on his kaleidoscopic life with his sons. More than just a biography, this documentary explores the multifaceted nature of fatherhood through the eyes of a man who has played many roles: son of a communist, young train conductor, gambler, tour manager, prisoner, advertising pioneer, restaurateur, and finally, a grandfather.
Filmed against the backdrop of Amsterdam's most iconic locations and interwoven with personal family archives, "POPS" delves into the complexities of family bonds. Pieter's journey is a testament to resilience and reinvention. Each chapter of his life reveals a different facet of fatherhood – the youthful father who makes difficult choices, the absent father chasing dreams, and the elder restaurant owner reflecting on his legacy.
As Pieter shares his life lessons in the cozy setting of Cafe Sud, his last Ace, the film asks: Can a life lived so fully, with all its twists and turns, truly leave everyone with a good feeling, especially those closest to him? "POPS" is a celebration of a life lived on one's own terms, a poignant exploration of the evolving roles we play within our families, and a reminder that it's never too late to reflect on the impact we have on those we love.
