Johan van der Keuken Retrospective
With an introduction by Stijn van Santen

Mijn zusje Joke is a personal portrait of Johan van der Keuken's sister, Joke, who passed away from cancer on August 8, 1997. Laatste woorden is a conversation between father and son, in which Stijn van Santen filmed his father, Johan van der Keuken, during his final days at their home in Spain using a small digital camera. In Onvoltooid tegenwoordig, images of friends and acquaintances, such as Heddy Honigmann, Walter Salles, and Frans van de Staak, are rhythmically interwoven.
