NPO-fund development contribution
The Dutch NPO-fund has granted the development contribution for a new film ‘THE HOLE IN MY LIFE‘.
A lignite mine provides society with energy and security, but in the meantime this expanding hole has an irreversible impact on the lives of a villager, a miner and an activist. They live on the edge of the mine, the hole in their lives. How does this place control their existence and how do they deal with it?

Teledoc Campus in production
The short documentary ‘DOGS LIFE’ by Josefien van Kooten is also chosen to be realised together with KRO-NCRV in the context of the Teledoc Campus. Production: NEWTON film.
People that have problems with their dogs come to dog whisperer Ron. It seems not the dogs, but the owners themselves need further training.
In the reflection between man and dog, the tension between powerlessness and control in people’s lives becomes visible.
