2 minuten stilte a.u.b. Filming Locations
Amsterdam is the Netherlands’ capital, known for its artistic heritage, elaborate canal system and narrow houses with gabled facades, legacies of the city’s 17th-century Golden Age. Its Museum District houses the Van Gogh Museum, works by Rembrandt and Vermeer at the Rijksmuseum, and modern art at the Stedelijk. Cycling is key to the city’s character, and there are numerous bike paths.
Rotterdam is a major port city in the Dutch province of South Holland. The Maritime Museum's vintage ships and exhibits trace the city's seafaring history. The 17th-century Delfshaven neighborhood is home to canalside shopping and Pilgrim Fathers Church, where pilgrims worshiped before sailing to America. After being almost completely reconstructed following WWII, the city is now known for bold, modern architecture.
2 minuten stilte a.u.b. (1998)
Over the course of a single day, from 8 AM to 8 PM, twelve film crews followed several men and women for whom Memorial Day is unavoidable. Each interview is cut with long silences, during which the suffering wrinkled faces bring back memories of the unspeakable days of youth lived in 1940, when the Netherlands were invaded by the German army, and Dutch Jews were taken away from their families and friends, to a certain death elsewhere. The document closes on the parade to the Memorial Monument, and the cameras show us again - lost in the mass of people - the handful of faces whose biographies one knows by then, thus multiplying by hundreds and thousands the force of the words and silent, hidden emotions imprinted on those human faces.
