Hugo Keijzer directed this 9 minute dialogue-less short film for Joep Beving.
Known for his solo piano recordings, streamed over 330 million times to date, Joep explores new musical territory in his track, titled Post.
The accompanying film, Zimata Svurshi (“Winter is Over”) follows a mother (played by Renáta Martinová) and her teenage daughter (Klara Müller), a vulnerable young person engulfed by the darkness of depression and anxiety.
In 2012 Hugo Keijzer created and directed this short film, which premiered at the Netherlands Film Festival and later went to Cannes Film Festival and won first prize at EFF. The story is about Alfred who suffers from a condition called Prosopagnosia, more often called Face Blindness. This implies he is unable to recognize or remember anyone's face, not even his own. On the other end of the table in a dark interrogation room sits inspector Peck. He is in charge of investigating the puzzling murder of Alfred's best friend; beautiful Julia.
