You're Leaving Amsterdam / Welcome To Amstelveen: Introduction(2017)

You're Leaving Amsterdam / Welcome To Amstelveen: Introduction Synopsis

A short documentary film functioning as the introduction to the One Minutes x Inter-Architecture Department (Gerrit Rietveld Academy) short-film broadcast episode for Rietveld TV, as aired on SALTO. This broadcast was meant to give an artistic impression of a communal art-project developed by the Inter-Architecture Department for the municipality of Amstelveen, The Netherlands. This short documentary film introduces each duo placed and posing at their respective project-based locations, spread out over Amstelveen, through purposely awkward still-but-moving vignettes. The duo's are reintroduced several times in quick succession, with each consecutive appearance showing more of an awkward inter-personality, meant to evoke a certain liminal playfulness. An overpass, a bridge, a bridge-barrier, a docking port, the border between Amsterdam and Amstelveen, the edges of Amsterdamse Bos, an abandoned railroad.

You're Leaving Amsterdam / Welcome To Amstelveen: Introduction (2017) is a documentary film directed by Mees Joachim van Amesfoort, released on January 25, 2017 with a runtime of 3m. It stars Dora Riederauer, Sophie Cloes, Caroline Parton and Pauline Legay.
