BIAK stories

In a cinematic installation (read more

about this exhibition at Museum Sophiahof here), Verhoeckx depicts a secret love story, based on the story of her parents, against the background of the decolonization of Dutch New Guinea. She creates a new narrative through the associative use of historical image and sound material from various archives and her parents’ private collection. 

During this afternoon we look at the use of historical image and sound material by a number of filmmakers in telling the history of the decolonization of Dutch New Guinea. What kind of material do the makers use? What are the stories behind this material? What do we actually see? And how do the filmmakers use the archival material to tell their own stories?
