Ernst Radius talks with Bob Bertina (1914-2012) about Dutch Catholics’ attitudes toward film after 1945. The relationship between Christians and film has never been unequivocal. Bertina was a film critic for the Volkskrant for many years, a member of the editorial board of several (Catholic) film magazines and involved in Katholieke Film Actie (KFA). In particular, it discusses the Catholic film censorship, organized in the Katholieke Film Centrale (KFC), in which leading film critics – besides Bertina Charles Boost and Janus van Domburg – played a role. Between 1945 and 1979, Bertina wrote about films in the Volkskrant. In his early days, film was still considered immoral by the Catholic Church. When the Volkskrant became a progressive newspaper in the late 1960s, Bertina welcomed it. He always sided with art.
Bertina explains the not unproblematic relationship between film criticism and film censorship. The premise endorsed by both ‘camps’, ‘work for good film’, was given different interpretations because the former reasoned primarily from an aesthetic point of view and the latter took a primarily moralistic stance. Bertina refers with approval to the brochure Film en moraal [Film and morality], which the progressive ‘filmpater’ Jac. Dirkse once wrote and in which he advocated, among other things, an independent relationship between Catholic film critics and the Catholic film censors.

The interview discusses the relationship between the Dutch Reformed Church and film. Reverend Willem Overbosch was involved in the realization of the Report on the Cinema Issue, which was commissioned by the Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church in 1946 and which advocated a critical but positive attitude toward film.
Also discussed are film censorship and, more specifically, the activities of the Centrale Commissie voor de Filmkeuring and the Film Center Foundation. This organization was founded in 1947 (initially under the name Stichting Kerk en Film) in order to give shape to the conclusions of the aforementioned report by providing information about film in Protestant Christian circles. Finally, the Prof. Dr. G. van der Leeuw Foundation, meeting center of church and art, is discussed. Persons discussed are: L. Eker, Dr. A. Dronkers, P.J. van Mullem, Prof. Dr. G. van der Leeuw and D. van Staveren.

Title: Soli Deo – Wouter Lutkie: biografie van een priester-fascist
Author: Willem Huberts
Publisher: Boom, Amsterdam 2022
ISBN: 9789024446414
Two years before his death, R.L. Schuursma and Sj. Vellenga interviewed the Catholic priest Wouter Lutkie from North Brabant. This interview discusses his views on Catholicism and fascism.
Wouter Lutkie was a Dutch priest who was constantly at odds with virtually the entire Dutch episcopate – yet was never excommunicated. He was an idiosyncratic, stubborn character and always went his own way. He was however not a loner. He conducted correspondence with hundreds of people, wrote many books and was active as a journalist for decades, especially for his own magazine Aristo. Lutkie was the only Dutchman to be on friendly terms with the Italian fascist leader Mussolini, with whom he was allowed seven private audiences. Lutkie had close ties to fascism, but was never charged with collaboration despite of investigations.
After the war, he continued his work as a priest without office and his magazine Aristo continued to exist. This had since become a literary journal. In early 1965, the magazine had to cease publication for good, due to lack of subscribers. To what extent Lutkie and his Aristo had been fascist or even national socialist remained the subject of much debate. This interview addresses this issue.

DAAN, the digital archive of Beeld & Geluid does contain the following item: the documentary series Voorwaarts en niet vergeten, which processed these interviews
These interviews were made by Hedda van Gennep in 1976 and early 1977 for the 9-part VARA television series (on 16mm film) Voorwaarts en niet vergeten, broadcast between January 11 and May 5, 1977. The series covers the history of the socialist movement in the Netherlands from 1850-1918, with the last part extending the line to 1976. It lasts a total of 5 hours and 45 min. The start of the series was accompanied in the VARAGids (Jan. 8, 1977) by an article on the background of the project, which included interviews with the project’s scientific advisor Johan Frieswijk.
The persons with whom the interviews were conducted range from all kinds of “nameless” fighters of the socialist labor movement from all over the country – including some of the workers from Friesland already interviewed for the film on Imke Klaver, such as the Brandsma couple and Douwe de Wit – to children of socialist leaders of the first hour such as Schaper, Vliegen, Troelstra and Domela Nieuwenhuis.
Discussions include: the Railway Strike of 1903; the Seamen’s Strike of 1911; the Potato Revolt of 1917; Troelstra’s revolutionary attempt in 1918; the General Diamond Workers Union (ANDB) and Henri Polak; women’s suffrage; Wibaut and social housing; the SDAP; the trade union movement, including the NVV and the NAS but also the Catholic and Christian organizations; the CPH and David Wijnkoop; the SociaalDemocratische Bond (SDB); the Maastricht pottery manufacturer Regout; the influence of the church; more generally, the living conditions of workers in the period under review.

Peter Davidse, development economist and world federalist, talks to Dutch, American (Gaff, Garves, Millard, Logue and Nelson) and English (Waterlow) representatives of the World Federalist Movement (WFB) about this movement in general and the local sections in particular. Discussed are the personal backgrounds of the distinguished individuals, their introduction to World Federalism and their activities within it.
The WFB came into existence shortly after the war in 1946 and seeks the establishment of a federal world government based on an international rule of law, equipped with powers to
maintenance of international peace and security. At the level of nation-states there should be general disarmament, except for a minimal power to maintain domestic order. World federalists have always seen the United Nations as an instrument for their efforts.
Another interesting collection on world federalism can be found on the Sound and Vision website. Here a talk program can be seen at the end of the tenth congress World Federalism at the Kurhaus hotel in Scheveningen. in a discussion panel led by Prof. Dr. J.L. van Holk discussed peace issues, UN police force (UN troops), development aid and nuclear weapons.
The latest interview project of the Humanistisch Historisch Centrum (HHC), called ‘Sprekend Humanisme,’ dates from 2018-2019.
The interviews are with people who became members of the Humanistisch Verbond in the period 1946-1955. Often, they also became members of a local branch, called a ‘community’ in the early years.
In 2021 no thorough research has been done on the activities within the communities of the HV, let alone anything substantial published about them.
By means of these interviews, the Digital Humanistic Heritage attempts to obtain information about the backgrounds of the members of the local communities and the activities that were developed. That is why we opted for so-called life-course interviews in which the life phases of the person are discussed; youth and family, school and education, career and humanism.
From the mid-1990s to about the year 2000, the Humanist Historical Centre interviewed a number of well-known and less well-known humanists about their lives and their role in the humanist movement from 1945 onwards. People from the freethinking association De Vrije Gedachte (formerly De Dageraad) and the ‘Jongeren Vredes Actie’ (Young Peace Action) are also interviewed. They are important precursors of the modern post-war humanist movement.
