Amsterdam

De vergeten medeminnaar

Psychological thriller about a man who loses his memory.

A young man is found roaming the streets. He suffers from amnesia and is taken to a psychiatric hospital. The police think he may be involved in a murder. Slowly the man regains his memory and a plot is revealed in which he seems to be both perpetrator and victim.

Alicia

A funny feature film by Wim Verstappen with a moral, but little pretension.

However, there is a touch of feminism to the story of a young, married woman who, on a sudden impulse, leaves her home and family - a husband and two children - because she feels the need to prove herself somewhere and in some way. The film mainly depicts the male reactions to this impudent female ‘escape attempt’, which, according to Western morals, naturally has to fail without anyone getting really hurt.

Ibiza, zon en zonde

Crime film about a journalist who gets involved with drugs smugglers on the hedonistic island of Ibiza.

In the early 1960s Ibiza became a favourite destination among Dutch artists and writers. The sunny Spanish island could not have been more of a contrast to the sombre post-war dreariness of the Netherlands and proved an inspiration to people like writers Jan Cremer, Cees Nooteboom, Harry Mulisch and photographer Cas Oorthuys.

Het gangstermeisje

Frans Weisz's first feature film, based on a script by Remco Campert, inspired by an idea developed by Weisz, Campert and Jan Blokker.

The success of the young writer Wessel Franken's latest novel, 'Illusion is a Gangster Girl', is so great that he receives a request from a film studio in Rome to adapt it for the screen.

Rufus

Rufus forms a threat to the syndicate which rules the gambling world. It makes life difficult for him.

Nederlands in zeven lessen

Partly staged documentary about post-war life in the Netherlands.

An English filmmaker is commissioned to make a film about the Netherlands but has only seven days to complete it. Helped by a number of friendly Dutch people, he manages to capture the spirit of the country. One of them is stewardess Audrey Hepburn, in her first screen appearance. It was to be her only part in a Dutch film.
