Hollandse Meesters

Hollandse Meesters is a portrait on the work of Bik van der Pol, directed by filmmaker Ivan Barbosa. Ivan made a rollercoaster road movie of interlocking stories and sites, from the rough port area of the Maasvlakte via the ferry at Spijkenisse to a high-rise roof in the center of Utrecht, to a basketball court in Kanaleneiland, to an airport at the tip of North Holland, to the sand dunes near Soest.

Ukrainian National Chernobyl Museum destroyed by drone attack

The Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986 was one of the greatest disasters of the 20th century and ultimately led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. After the disaster, the Soviet authorities attempted to cover it up. The Ukrainian National Chernobyl Museum in the city centre of Kyiv is dedicated to uncovering the secrets and to preserve and share the history of the nuclear disaster and its consequences. The museum was destroyed by a Russian missile and drone attack on cultural institutions in Kyiv on 24 May 2026.

Our work Kiev, 18 March 2006, reflects on the importance of a museum as a bastion of resistance against secrecy and censorship, told through 80 slides projected by a rotating slide projector, with the emphasis on stories that need to be told and the thoughts that must be allowed to be expressed freely.
