Lacuna | 33min ——— premiering at IFFR 2025 in the art directions: immersive media selection
Sonja has no memory of the crucial moment in her early childhood that saved her life: the separation from her parents in 1943. The discovery of three silver rings that once belonged to Sonja’s parents triggers the director to begin prompting her about the past. In the emotional journey that follows, you accompany Sonja through skewed memories, elusive images and re-imaginations towards one moment of loss and grief during the Second World War.
A true story that leads you from Paramaribo to Amsterdam and into a psychiatric facility called Het Apeldoornsche Bosch. Combining conversations with Sonja, mesmerizing 3D modelling, animation and personal footage, Lacuna explores who we are in relation to who we were. Meanwhile you will find truth in imagination, beauty in the unknown and an act of unconditional love.
Directed by Maartje Wegdam and Nienke Huitenga Broeren
A production of Podium Biarritz, in co-production with Copper Views Film Productions and Studio Biarritz

This Conversation is Off the Record | 60min
Off the Record builds on Peleds decade-long study of the consequences of risk-based profiling by Dutch police. She takes a deep dive into the crime prevention systems that are supposed to predict which young individuals will become criminals. The main characters are a journalist, a police officer, a human rights lawyer, and 125 youngsters. Peled combines radical imagination with thorough research to pose these questions: Who writes the script that dictates our lives?
A performative lecture by Nirit Peled, created in collaboration with Nienke Huitenga Broeren, Keez Duyves and Anne Maike Mertens.
