31. Face Value

31. Face Value
Johan van der Keuken Retrospective
16mm with French subtitles

In Face Value, everything revolves around the face and vision: the desire to be seen, the fear of being seen, the inability to see oneself, and the fear and longing to see others. It is a film that combines a deliberate approach with spontaneity, contemplation with action. It presents us with various perspectives on a region we call "Europe," somewhere between London, Marseille, Prague, and the Netherlands.

On the occasion of the retrospective, Sabzian published an Issue featuring Van der Keuken’s writings, available in English, Dutch and French. A collection of texts on his work by various authors will be published in the coming weeks.
