They were one of the first serious producers in its genre in The Netherlands. In the time that real Junglists revolted against the new commercial alternative Drum n Bass, DEFORMER already produced some revolutionary tracks. Some of them got stolen by crooked record companies, which gathered demos of relatively unknown artists. The second DEFORMER album - Revolution Theory - tops all enthusiasm received by their debut, Fxecutioners on all fronts. Revolution Theory became a very versatile full-length album within its genre. From danceable Jungle tracks to heavy experimental Drum n breaks and deep trip hop tunes, a large audience embraces this album already and the press loves it. The DEFORMER sound is very recognizable by its raw, jungle orientated drum programming supported by dark scores creating a unique identity. Up till now, DEFORMER has never had a single bad review by the critics and if they will in the future, they probably wont have understood it... www.redrumrecordz.com . http://www.myspace.com/deformer . photo - Daniel Baggerman     ST0MA Stöma is on a quest for new sounds and emotions. Stöma gigs are always intense and vibrant, balancing on the edge of improvisation. Drummer Wouter van Wijk, bassplayer/vocalist Bruno Xavier Ferro da Silva and turntablist eNi-LesS are well known musicians in the alternative scene here in Rotterdam. Bruno and Wouter played in Doodoos Coffee (DDC) which is quite a big name over here. DDC is back in full action again after a break up which lasted three years. During that time Stöma was formed. Bruno liked to refer to Stöma as the colostomy bag Wouter and Bruno needed to get all the shit out they bottled up after DooDoo’s Coffee split up. Aside from DDC they both play in The Must which is the back up band for famous keyboard wizard Harry Merry. Furthermore Bruno plays in various projects like Bruno&Robin (with Belgian drummer Robin Schaeverbeeke), Dr. Schnitt, Grillig (hiphop) and WeGo (Danish dance/performance group). Wouter also plays in Clayborn; a rockband from Rotterdam. Beside his solo career, eNi-LeSs founded a production team Redrum Squad , Redrum Recordz an independent recordlabel, featured at many performances of well known groups and innovates in organising a large festival.

From classic 60s , 70s, 80s 90s stuff to very hip modern sounds... Im an old school punkrocker with a taste for the bizar but danceble!! My aim as D.J. is to get people off with good music regardless of genres, showing that good music is made in all genres immaginable... http://www.myspace.com/tocadorecords http://www.tocado.com/     RAASKALBOMFUKKERZ The Formulator: poetik insanity & vokal noize Dr. Snoodaard: producing, sampling, keyboards, drumpads, backing vocals, digital noize The RaaskalBOMfukkerZ (gibberish bomb-fuckers) is a two-person battalion, which operates from the squatted freeports of the Netherlands, mainly Amsterdam. In 2003 they started operating their guerrilla battle for both more artistic & political balls as shear insanity in Dutch hip hop and far beyond. This resulted in notorious costumed live-shows, where experimental beats caused by uninsured illegal operations of Dr. Snoodaard are combined with unhygienic sample gear and boards. Upon this the Formulator (f.k.a. the Silent Partner) erupts combinations of (un-) conscious lyrix, stomachetwisting (sound-) poetic eruptions and unrecognizable human beat boxing-sessions. A bewildering hit at countless festivals, clubs and squats. They believe intellectual property is theft and every soul is free to upload, download or remix their stuff. During Dutch Punch festival the RaaskalBOMfukkerZ will again prove themselves as a transnational and refreshing antidote in an age of semi-rational semi-democratic top40 cynicism. Let insanity and imagination reign supreme and most of all: let there be gibberish. Beyond any border. http://www.myspace.com/raaskalbomfukkerz       POETRY     FILM and VIDEO-ART   Filmbank : Dutch Experimental Short Films A program of recent experimental short films, selected by Kultprom from the Filmbank archives (distributor of experimental films). The Filmbank’s aim is to find an audience for independent, experimental Dutch films. Experimental in the widest sense of the word, encapsulating work that is inspired by the classic avant-garde or work that explores the relationship between film and other art forms. Any form that are suitable for projection are eligible. Format and length are unimportant. Quality is. The Filmbank will showcase films that are unique in their unconventional subject matter, working method and form. Films that are so confusing, beautiful, harsh or absurd that they are difficult to forget. Oh Great Now Look What Happened Tijmen Hauer, Gerbrand Burger | 2007 | 4 min. 4 sec | 35mm Oh Great Now Look What Happened is a fascinating and puzzling impression of a strange and unexpected event. An indefinable feeling of fear and threat is portrayed in a short film that is both melancholy and funny. Agatha Marta Jurkiewicz | 2005 | 7 min. 55 sec. | no dialogue A murder is taking place during a small party. The story is narrated with the help of subtlety shifting frames, creating confusion. Flowers Hélène Kocken | 2005 | 1 min. 9 sec. | no dialogue Flowers as a dark eye candy. It’s an encounter, mix and crash of digital video, photos and 16mm film. Passage Paul van den Wildenberg | 2007 | 15 min. | no dialogue Short poetic film. During the early morning hours, a man wanders through the harbour, passing time in isolation. Getijden Karel Doing | 2007 | 12 min. 30 sec. | no dialogue The human species is the only animal capable to transform itself into many other animals, plants or objects. This film shows eight possible transformations performed by one actress. Each of the parts has its own specific colour spectrum and rhythm that combine with the especially composed music by the sound artist Pierre Bastian and the voice artist Andrea Emonds. MTV Makes Me Want To Smoke Crack Too Tijmen Hauer | 2004 | 1 min. 40 sec | minidv The video consists of sixteen videoclips (and the songs they belong to) layered on top of each other. Mtv makes me want to smoke crack too was made in an attempt to settle the score with the endless amount of repetetive commercial imagery with which we are confronted on a daily basis and came to be a hypnotizing visual experience. Daddy Im Scared Tijmen Hauer | 2006 | 3 min. 48 sec. | no dialogue A video, consisting of overlayed 13 children drawings, creates an effect of an aggressive inferno of image and sound. Binnenverblijven (Enclosures) Arianne Olthaar | 2008 | 4 min. | no dialogue Mysterious bathroom interiors of the spaces built in sixties and seventies. Timeless and superb. Worms Sil van der Woerd | 2007 | 4 min. 32 sec. | no dialogue Experimental underground music video with Lolly Jane Blue making her way through the ground layers to the mesmerizing water ballet. Kogel Vogel (Bullet Bird) Federico Campanale | 2007 | 6 min. 10 sec. | no dialogue The spectator watches the journey of the bullet, fired through multiple glass plates. The film deals with the aesthetic side of the force, evolution, development and abundance. Sehnsucht Jeroen Eisinga | 2002 | 9 min. | no dialogue Dead zebra becomes undead through the unexpected movements.. I Love you so Kees Brienen | 2004 | 3 min. 30 sec. | no dialogue Love is the debt one can never repay. But it could mean the ultimate assurance in the future Total: 73 min.     Masters of experimental film: Frans Zwartjes and Paul de Nooijer Frans Zwartjes Frans Zwartjes (1927) is filmmaker, musician, violinmaker, drawer, painter and sculptor. He has been heavily involved in film since 1968, both as a filmmaker and as a teacher at the ‘Vrije Academie’ in The Hague and at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. In his films, actors are adorned with make-up and costumes and are put in a setting to enact a staged event. Sexuality, psychosis, cruelty, power and powerlessness are ever recurring themes in his films. The images are abstracted in ruthless black and white. The general idea of reality is broken down by brilliant camera work and neurotic editing to replace it with a personal and often disturbing reality. About Paul de Nooijer Paul de Nooijer (1943) makes photographs, performances, installations and short animation films, in which he often uses the pixellation-technique. He uses his performances and films them to provide to the audience an amusing vision of his fascination for film, considered as an authentic form of art. Its eagerness by manipulating the visible world, by removing the reality of its daily context and to show it since another perspective, is the conductive thread of all his photographs, short free, video clips, and live performances. Paul de Nooijer attended the Free Academy in The Hague as a student of Frans Zwartjes, and studied industrial design in Eindhoven. Notes From The Underground (fragment 5’) Anna Abrahams, Jan Frederik Groot | 1998 | 30 min. | 16mm | Dutch | subtitles: English Group portrait of five Dutch independent filmmakers who make wayward, important films. The film consists of a relay race between five studios: Cyrus Frisch, Karel Doing, Frans Zwartjes, Victor Nieuwenhuijs and Maartje Seyferth take turns with the bolex camera. Fragment: filmmaker Karel Doing visits Frans Zwartjes. Transformation by holding time (landscape) Paul de Nooijer | 1976 | 4 min. | 16mm | colour | mono magnetic | no dialogue Film camera registers the filmmaker looking back with a Polaroid camera. Moving Stills Paul de Nooijer, Frans Zwartjes | 1972 | 7 min. | 16mm | colour | mono optical | no dialogue First film by Paul de Nooijer, made in corporation with Frans Zwartjes. Moving Stills shows several pictures of Francoise de Nooijer, which are binded together into a moving film via editing and colour effects. The erotic image receives an explosive set of meanings. Sorbet III Frans Zwartjes | 1968 | 6 min. | 16mm | black & white | mono optical | no dialogue One of the first films by Zwartjes, influenced by the filmmakers of the New American Cinema he admired. Everything centers around the glances between a neurotic camera and the just as neurotic transvestite who reaches for a sorbet and looks in unease to what lying next to him on the couch. How to make a New York cake Paul de Nooijer | 1978 | 4 min. 30 sec. | 16mm | colour | mono optical | no dialogue The party is non-stop at the De Nooijer family home. Innocent entertainment or a political cinema? Living Frans Zwartjes | 1971 | 15 min. | 16mm | colour | mono optical | no dialogue Zwartjes\' masterpiece and his own favourite film. “Living has an uneasy, indefinable atmosphere. The camera’s strange swaying and the music that keeps going on and on…”Living demonstrates Zwartjes’ cinematographic mastery. He is the film’s main character and also does the camera work, pointing it at himself with his hand held outstretched. Zwartjes: “I was as strong as a bear back then.” The film is part of the ‘Home sweet home’ series, in which Zwartjes explored the house in The Hague he had just moved into. His wife and muse Trix plays the other role. The two characters move restlessly through the house. The film was made using an extremely wide angled lens (a 5.7), which makes the images very strange. Review Paul de Nooijer I1976 I 10 min I 16 mm | geen dialoog Miraculous exhibition of the photographic work of the Nooijer. Photogrpahs are being examined, hung up and torn to pieces. I Should See Paul de Nooijer | 1990 | 2min | 16 mm | geen dialoog In I Should See, the narrator is comparing motion pictures and still life. He seems to prefer the former for as he is talking we see two men, one of whom is loading up his camera, the other is posing with a woman doing various things namely undressing her. As we see photos flashing we see the woman with her shirt off revealing her black bra. As the flashing photos continue we see the man fooling with the bra until the moment her breasts are to be fully revealed then the narrator says, \"Damn. No more pictures.\" as screen is now completely black. Damn indeed. Good in a kindly erotic way..     Short films program Made in Rotterdam Poetic, Experimental and Progressive Short Films from Rotterdam The short films in the program are a very personal selection of short films from the last five years, mainly produced in Rotterdam. Tim Leyendekker : Opening Night 2009 / 5.26 min / 35 mm / no dialogue And a voice said: \"Hope comes in many forms, but for tonight, you\'re on your own\" Hanke Kleij and Andre Schreuders: De Wachter / The Watcher 2003, 25 min, dv, documentary Poetic portrait of the Lage Erfbrug, a small bridge in Rotterdam. About the meaning of an insignificant spot. People pass by or wait. Excitement and silence. Fragmentation and unity. A film about waiting, watching and seeing. The world through the eyes of a bridge. Andre Schreuders : Manifesto for a Free Fall 2009, 12 min, HD Cam, eng Visual essay about our struggle with the two-headed monster boredom and mortal fear. Lots of people try to escape this by seeking exiting activities like bungee jumping. In the lonely mountains the alter ego of the film maker preaches to a single mountain goat about falling as the only real escape. Michiel van Bakel: Inner Machine 2007 | 3.20 min. no dialogues A visual poem, contemplations about the relative movements of time. Die Trottos: Trottadam 2006 / 8\' 40min / no dialogue Two women have a rendez-vous in Rotterdam, the city they chose for their wedding. Their personal approach towards the traditional ritual, undermines the established sterotypes. They evocate the atmosphere of the twenties, and simultaniously parody the topics of the hour. They enchant with their comical and lovely performance. Eveline Ketterings: When We Are Big 2006 / 6.42min In this controversial short subject, a very large man and a young girl are enjoying a beautiful day by a swimming pool. The two dive into the water, but their play takes on a sinister tone when the man submerges beneath the water, pulls the child down after him, and refuses to let her go. Running less than seven minutes, Als Wij Groot Zijn (aka When We Are Big) was greeted with open hostility by audiences at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, though director Eveline Kettering was quick to defend the meaning and intentions of her film, and several other filmmakers at the festival spoke out in her defense. Manon Bovenkerk : Polka duration: 1.15min, colour \'Polka\' is a very short animation based on the frantic and surreal early 20\'s animations such as Felix the Cat. Joost van Veen: Harrachov 2005, 10 min An ingenious, sublime film installation bringing together a short film, film loops and a kinetic sculpture. The ten minute long 35mm film explores the effect of an arcane force that, like a black hole or immensely powerful electromagnet, exerts a far-reaching &irresistible power upon certain objects and materials, willfully seducing, centralizing and internalizing them. Piece by piece, in the dark void of the cinema screen, an imaginary and menacing machine-system evolves. Eveline Ketterings: The Burning Bride 2003, 5min One intent shot documenting a mystifyingly random act of aspiration, or fitness. A bride, misplaced to some colorless Hong Kong bardo, flails and jumps like there\'s no past and no future. Persistence in time and the question: why? The question is always a motivation. Find the answer and there is another \"why?\". Why? There is always a new start with this question. Manon Bovenkerk : Wil je me voeren aan de krokodillen 2009, 3.25min Music video for the song \'Wil je me voeren aan de krokodillen\' (\'Will you feed me to the crocodiles\') by Goslink     Filmmaker in focus: Martha Colburn Martha Colburn is a filmmaker currently living in Long Island City, New York. She is most well-known for her animation films, which are created through puppetry, collage, and paint on glass techniques. She has made over forty films since 1994. Recently in her career, Colburn has made sculptural/video installation work and experimented with integrating her films with musical performance. Yet music and film have always shared a deep connection within Colburn’s work. Colburn’s style of collage fuses pop culture and political imagery with an aesthetic that is simultaneously fantastical, painterly, and punk rock. Many of her appropriated images are painted over with a diverse variety of paints which integrate them with the drawings and textures that are completely her own. Colburn makes her animations by facing the camera directly downward at the collaged panels below. She has always rejected the computer program as a means to create her animations. The “hands-on,” non-technological quality that defines her process keeps it at a personal and intimate level. Color is another very important aspect of Colburn’s films. Although her 2006 film Meet Me in Wichita deals with disconcerting subject matter, Colburn still chooses bright colors to define the film’s color scheme. It is these types of contradictions in Colburn’s work which deepen her visual and conceptual complexity. http://www.marthacolburn.com Waschdrang Mama 2006 | 3:30 min Male pinups get the Colburn treatment, an expressive and intensive work over to the dynamic music of Felix Kubin and Coolhaven. Sex and death are never far away, under the surface of the blushing bare chests and the celluloid. Released on K48\'s DVD insert in the publication K48006. Cosmetic Emergency 2005 | 8 min “Cosmetic Emergency” explores the idea of beauty through a collage of live action and lyrical animations. Afree-form take on the current trend of cosmetic obsession and the immortal quality of painting, the film searches for “what’s on the inside”. The music was commissioned for the film. Selected musicians, including New Zealand’s Hip-Hop artist, “Coco Solid” and “Half Japanese” founder Jad Fair, wrote and recorded humorously cynical songs about the cosmetic craze. Also included is a rare appearance by the Dutch Ambassador of Cosmetic Surgery, Marijke Helwegen. Secrets of Mexuality 2003 | 5 min A dense and highly detailed film exploring sexuality in the specific realms of Mexican wrestling and kitsch paintings through rapid-fire transformations. Screened in International Film Festival Rotterdam. Cat’s Amore 2002 | 2’30” Hand-coloured animation revealing our animal instincts in a hot display of dancing catwomen and dogs, hungry for love. With a soundtrack of a French version of \"I Wanna Be Your Dog\" by Jacque Berrocal. Skelehellavision 2001 / 8 min This is film exploiting inventive techniques of animation in an attempt to realize the world that may await us after death. Using found pornography as part of the film and literally scratching skeletons over the footage frame-by-frame we see into a lust-filled Hell where the beauty of flesh is no more. Ass-licking bats, seething snakes, dancing lizards, and frightful females are a few of the stars in this movie exploring the over-heated depths of the afterlife. Winner of Best Animated Film, New York Underground Film Festival (2003). The soundtrack, by Martha Colburn is a carnivalesque cut-and-paste of sounds and spooky movie sound track singing. Evil of Dracula 1997 | 2 min Attempt to realize the world that may await us after death. Using found pornography as part of the film and literally scratching skeletons over the footage frame-by-frame, we see into a lust-filled Hell where the beauty of flesh is no more. Ass-licking bats, seething snakes, dancing lizards, and frightful females in an animation exploring the over-heated depths of the afterlife. Spiders In Love: An Arachnogasmic Musical 1999 | 5 min Complex animated film of the world of the she-spiders. They dance and dash about with expressions of lust and hunger. Fabulous legs and complex dance routines. Indications of death and life abound. What\'s On? 1997 | 1 min. 45 sec.  Hand colored-animated film is set to the chaos-poetry of New York poet “99 Hooker”. It is a hyper-speed rant on the evils and absurdities of American television. An over-the-top tumble with attacking baboons, a mutating Michael Jackson, game shows based on body parts and more. Don\'t kill the weather man! 2007 | 5 min Don’t Kill the Weatherman!, was inspired by the medieval manuscript, Three Pilgrimages, by Guillaume de Deguileville, one of the works in the Rosenbach’s collection. The three stories in the richly illustrated manuscript are (my translation), the Pilgrimage of Life, the Pilgrimage of the Soul, and the Pilgrimage of Jesus Christ. Destiny Manifesto 2006 | 8 min 16mm transferred to Digi Beta A paint-on-glass and collage animation, \'Destiny Manifesto\' fuses paintings of the American western frontier and contemporary images of the conflict in the Middle East into a work that explores the visual and psychological parallels between the representation of these two periods. Meet Me In Wichita 2006 | 7 min 16mm transferred to Digi Beta An indictment of America\'s dangerous foreign-policy naivety, this film is a play between fact, fiction, politics, fantasy, terror and morality. Using colorful cutout animation this film features Osama Bin Laden (as several characters from the Wizard of Oz) and Dorothy in a battle of dark forces and faces of Evil. Wrong Time Capsule 2005 | 2:30 min Super 8mm Singer Satomi Matsuzaki and the rest of Deerhoof are in danger of being literally consumed by dreams of fortune and the consumer culture. Using a cut-out collage style to show how money and games of chance are able to exert an enormous power and control over Deerhoof. Myth Labs 2008 | 7:30 min 16mm (transferred to video). ‘Myth Labs’ interweaves Puritan visions, folk art, religious allegories and victims of the current Methamphetamine epidemic. This is a film about fear, paranoia, faith and loss of faith and salvation. Total: 64 min.     The best of Amsterdam animation festival KLIK!

Emerging from the underground circuit where they began in 1979, The Ex is a small but steady star in the independent music community. The film is about making music without paying attention to how things are supposed to sound. While the major labels are offering small independent bands huge amounts of money, The Ex consciously chose to stay away from the industry and do things their own way. For the members of The Ex punk is a way of living, simply refusing to participate in the grind. This quintet from Amsterdam runs its own label and books its own concerts in a steadfastly independent way. The band has continually developed its musical skills, creating an ambling rhythm-dominated sound. Over the years The Ex has worked with some of the brightest lights of indie rock and avant-garde; Fugazi, Tortoise, Sonic Youth guitarists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo, the late cellist and improviser Tom Cora, jazzdrummer Han Bennink and recording engineer / Shellac guitarist Steve Albini. The Ex has incorporated many new ideas and influences while retaining distinctively their own identity; reason enough for a documentary about the longest lasting independent band of the Netherlands. Live The Ex are a force of nature, they play a whirling rock, driven by Katrins rolling syncopation and G.W Soks inspired half spoken-half sung vibrant vocals. Terrie and Andy, the two guitarists, spin and bounce off one another. Their entwined guitars cut with startling sharpness , enthusiastic interplay and constant improvisation. Luc and Katrin bump and clatter with bobbling bass lines and relentless rhythms. Its intense, irresistible, unstoppable. With modest means, the Swedish directors have produced an exclusive and perceptive portrait of the band. Filmed on location over a two year period on tour in Europe and the U.S.A in squats, clubs and avant-garde jazz festivals, during rehearsals and at home with each member of the band. Interspersed with hilarious archive material and poetic sequences, the film gives a vivid and sparkling impression of this extraordinary band. Directed and Produced by: Christina Hallström & Mandra Wabäck     From the Heart of Odessa Alec Kopyt, a musician from Amsterdam returns to Moldavanka - the former Jewish neighbourhood of Odessa - his place of birth and the cradle of old-time Russian Mafia songs (Blatnyak). He is looking for musicians to play together these songs in the restaurant of an old friend. While strolling along the picturesque yards of the ruinous slums, we meet colourful Odesits who resemble the ancient heroes of the street songs we hear. A touching portrait of a neibourhood, its music and performers.
