Wibautstraat

Wibautstraat Full-colour 25 minute film, without dialogue, that gives an impression of the life in the street and the absence of it. The film consists of about a 100 shots of a duration of 5 to 10 seconds and a couple of longer shots. The rhythm of the street is reflected in the rhythm of the film. No music has been used. The street itself offers enough interesting sounds. Neither does the film make use of interviews, since these would only break the rhythm. Other crazy tricks like special effects, accelerations and decelerations are carefully used. They would only distract. Sobriety in image and sound are the credo, just like the Wibautstraat itself, which actually is a sober street. Martin Brandwagt (camera: Henriëtte Spiering, clipping advice: Raymond Mirrer)
