Job Ter Burg, Ace, Nce Film Editor
JOB TER BURG, ACE, NCE FILM EDITOR Short Biography Job ter Burg (1972, Maarn, The Netherlands) graduated from The Netherlands Film and Television Academy as a film editor (1992-1996), after two years of studying Film and Television at the University of Utrecht (1990-1992), which were preceded by grammar school in Doorn (1984-1990). He started out as an editor for mostly television documentaries, but after his continued collaboration with film school class mate Martin Koolhoven on DARK LIGHT (1997) and the much awarded SUZY Q (1999), he focused on editing feature films. After two nominations for Best Film Editing (at the yearly Dutch Film Festival in Utrecht) for his work on GODFORSAKEN (Pieter Kuijpers, 2003) and SCHNITZEL PARADISE (Martin Koolhoven, 2005), he got to be the lead film editor on the prestigious BLACK BOOK (2006), Paul Verhoeven’s first Dutch film in 20 years. Ter Burg was awarded with the ICS Award for Best Editing for Paul Verhoeven’s ELLE (2016) and with the Golden Calf for Best Film Editing for his work on Rudolf van den Berg’s TIRZA (2010). ELLE (2016) won more than 60 awards, including two Golden Globes (Best Foreign Language Film 2017 & Best Actress 2017) and was nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Actress category (Isabelle Huppert). BORGMAN (2013) and ELLE (2016) were selected for the Competition at the Festival de Cannes, BRIMSTONE (2016) and BLACK BOOK (2006) were selected for the Competition in at the Venice Film Festival. THE LAST DAYS OF EMMA BLANK (2009) won the Europa Cinemas Award at Venice Days.

37Th Portland International Film Festival, the Northwest Film Center’S Annual Showcase of New World Cinema
THE NORT HWEST FILM CENTER / PORTLAND ART M USE UM PRESENTS 3 7TH PORTLAND INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL SPONSORED BY: THE OREGONIAN / THE PAUL G. ALLEN FAMILY FOUNDATION F E BRU ARY 6–22, 2014 WELCOME Welcome to the 37th Portland International Film Festival, the Northwest Film Center’s annual showcase of new world cinema. Like the Film Center’s Northwest Filmmakers’ Festival, which surveys outstanding new work by our region’s media makers, the Portland International Film Festival explores not only the art of film but also the world around us, no matter the place or the language spoken. The Festival is not just for cinephiles. The cultural diversity, the extraordinary range of subjects, genres, and experiences explored—for all ages and from matinee to midnight—invite exploration and discovery, movie-lover or not. We welcome you to join in this shared cinematic and community experience and let us know your reaction to the films and the event. We want to know, and the filmmakers want to know. If you are a Festival regular, you will recognize the many longtime sponsors who support the Festival and the Film Center. The array of Festival supporters is both impressive and appreciated. We thank them all for their ongoing support and are truly thankful for your efforts to let them know in the ways you can that this event is a valued part of your, and Portland’s, cultural mix. The gratitude, of course, extends to our Silver Screen Club members, to hundreds of volunteers and industry supporters, and to the dedicated, film-loving Film Center staff whose amazing, resourceful efforts make it all possible.

Stichting Ons Erfdeel, Rekkem 1994-1995 Zie voor verantwoording: https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_low001199401_01/colofon.php Let op: werken die korter dan 140 jaar geleden verschenen zijn, kunnen auteursrechtelijk beschermd zijn. i.s.m. 10 Brussels, City of the Coming Century Hidden bilingualism Foreigners who come to live in Belgium soon realise that they have arrived in a bilingual country. Many of them, those who work for the European institutions and the private companies which cluster around them, live either in the centre of the capital city, Brussels, or else very nearby. I am constantly amazed by the fact that these people see Brussels as an exclusively Frenchspeaking city. Even Dutch people, who speak the same language as Flemings, are able to miss the bilingualism of this city, which is so obvious to me. Worse still, a great many Flemings, themselves Belgians, assume without any further consideration that Brussels is French-speaking, even though Brussels is the capital of their own Flemish Community. Can these people not see? Can they not hear? All the street name plates and road signs are bilingual, with combinations which are sometimes very original, such as ‘Schae/arbeek’ or ‘centre/um’, and sometimes almost surrealistic, such as ‘Treurenberg/Treurenberg’. Every notice in every town hall and post office is bilingual, and the counter staff have to be able to speak both languages. The metro and tram systems are completely bilingual, although some employees still obstinately refuse to understand simple phrases like ‘one tram card please’ or ‘how much does this cost?’ if they are said in Dutch.

In Search of Surrealism in Alex Van Warmerdam's Borgman
In Search of Surrealism in Alex van Warmerdam’s Borgman Painting of Alex van Warmerdam by Maurice Braspenning A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of 'MA Media Studies: Film Studies' from the University of Amsterdam in the 2016-2017 academic year, submitted on June 26th 2017. Student number: 10276165 Master Thesis of student: Floor Wijers University of Amsterdam Thesis Supervisor: dr. M.A.M.B. Lous Baronian 26 June 2017 Second Reader: dr. B. Joret [email protected] Wordcount: 17660 ABSTRACT In this thesis the work of Dutch contemporary filmmaker Alex van Warmerdam is being analysed into the light of Surrealism. By doing so, the aim is to use Surrealism as an instrument to analyse film. The main focus is to explore to what extent there is a correlation between Alex van Wamerdam’s work and Surrealism. Mainly his film Borgman is used as a case study. In this thesis, the link between Surrealism and Cinema is considered as specific ‘category of interpretation,’ to reveal the surrealistic aspects in Borgman. In addition to this, I discussed Borgman with the involvement of surrealistic concepts, like black humour and mad love, to argue that the surrealistic identity can still be represented in film culture. Key words: Contemporary Dutch cinema, Alex van Warmerdam, Surrealism, disorientating cinema, black humour, mad love, Borgman (2013) ACKNOWLEDGEMENT There are some people I am grateful for and who deserve some extra attention. Without them I would not be able to write this thesis. First of all I want to thank Marie-Aude Baronian for her strict deadlines, critical feedback and great patience with me.
