Oerd van Cuijlenborg

A jazzy film in which the spectator is forced to look with the ears and listen with the eyes. An abstract film drawn directly on the computer.

Sublimely simple, superbly complex – an invitation to watch with your ears and listen with your eyes.

In Scratch both the animation and the soundtrack are abstract. The movie is a conversation of sounds and images. Soundtrack and animation are scratched directly on 35 mm film.

A fable about the human condition in which two people are confronted with their limtations and the opportunities available to them in life. Film without words.

Without Walter Sisulu, there wouldn’t have been Nelson Mandela. Mandela, accused number one, read a speech during the trial justifying why the African National Congress had resorted to violence. Sisulu, accused number two, was the first of the group to be cross-examined. Transported back into a world of secret court sessions during the apartheid nightmare, the viewer will discover the testimony of an exceptional man who instigated one of the turning points of 20th century history.

Set to the first of Vivaldi’s 4 Seasons symphony, a shimmering, luminescent ode for our times.

Abstract Day is a semi-abstract animation film by Oerd van Cuijlenborg based on a story which is told in sound. We witness a day in the life of a couple, who fight, make love and escape the hot and crowded city. It is a simple story in which the visuals and sound are produced together to merge into a unique world.
