(wakers en dromers)
documentary, 32', 16 mm, colour
dutch language knows 128 words for dikes: a film about the dutch landscape and its connection to the water. a poetic impression of the ambivalent relationship the netherlands has with water. centuries of often futile attempts to keep the water out have led to the dutch entering into a strange obligation, 'in fact, we are morally obliged to like it here.'

Wakers and Dreamers is a collage about dikes and the people living behind them, about a nation that made its own land, as a park full of rules, signs and canalisation. A visual dike symphony. (NRC Handelsblad)
