Peter Delpeut and Dutch Poetic Cinema

Director Peter Delpeut

Peter Delpeut Introduction

With lyricism and wit, director Peter Delpeut and composer Loek Dikker have drawn fresh attention to the power of silent film, given new meaning to fragments of found footage, and helped to revitalize poetic cinema in the Netherlands. The discussions of film history, montage, cinematic memories, Romanticism, Jonas Mekas, and avant-garde filmmaking in the Delpeut portrait film in this room are all elaborated in room 3 and complement the portrait film with Dikker in room 2.
