| Kors' Choice |
|
We follow Kors in the year of his 75th birthday, at the end of his working career. Not an easy time for Kors, a man who likes to stay in control of things. He decides to work with the Stichting Archief Kors van Bennekom (Kors van Bennekom Archive Foundation) to choose photographs from his own archive for digitization so he can rest easy when his archive is locked away in the vaults of the photo archive. But how do you make a selection of 13.000 negatives out of more than 700.000? How do you decide? His son Joris helps him with the selection. Together they spend days bent over thick binders full of contact sheets. Kors dives into his past and meets several people that talk to him about his past as a photographer with 'De Waarheid' and 'De Uitkrant' and as a photographing parent and partner. How did he make his photographs? What drove him? Kors' Choice is a portrait of Kors van Bennekom that focuses primarily on his beautiful photographs. Photographs that let you feel how little time has passed since Back Then. Camera man Robert Berger decided to shoot the documentary in hand-held technique with the new RED ONE camera (in 4k), which resulted in especially filmic images. He also chose to shoot the entire documentary with one solid 50mm lens so that he was just as 'limited' in making his images as Kors used to be. Close Up: Sunday, March 22nd, 18.15 hrs – Ned2  |
