Jindra Markus
|
|
|
He has devoted his filmmaking to films that are "against the grain". This relates both to his films as well as to the films he participated in. The first film he was involved in (as a producer) was an experimental film (director Orlow Seunke) called 'Twisk' made with money from the experimental Knokke Filmfestival. Later on he produced the cum laude award film academy feature by the same director (Altijd Wat Zelden Wat Goeds). From that time on Jindra Markus developed himself working on 'big movies' as an assistant to world known director Paul Verhoeven on films like 'Soldier Of Orange', 'Spetters', 'The 4 th Man' and 'Flesh & Blood'. In between, he realized his own films as a director and sometimes director-producer. Most well known are the award winning short films like 'Icefree', 'Girl Of Stone' and 'The Lottery Ticket' all with musical scores by the young Pim de Bruyn-Kops, now member of 'De Dijk' one of the outstanding acts in the Netherlands. |

Alain Jalladeau
|
|
|
Born in Nantes, France in 1940, he was interested in the arts from an early age and became active in organizing cultural activities in Nantes at the beginning of the 1960's. In the 1960's and 70's, he organized many concerts with internationally known jazz musicians. Meanwhile, he was closely associated with Henri Langlois and, in 1963, established a branch of the French Film Archives (La Cinémathèque Française) in Nantes. In 1972, Alain also introduced a special film series presenting both French films and foreign films inspired by "discoveries" of films made during his travels. These programs provided many opportunities to invite innovative and prestigious filmmakers to present their work in Nantes. In 1979, with his brother, Philippe, Alain founded the 'Festival Of 3 Continents', and thereafter devoted himself full-time to finding good films for the festival. In addition to choosing the programs, he also helps film directors meet potential producers and distributors.
