De verkoeling en het roodborstje: Eindelijk weer wat regen.

At 40, I was a busy chap, working, doing all kind of stuff. During a hot summer afternoon I was fixing the ceiling of our house. A little alone I took the camera to film myself in between my jobs. Language: English, Dutch, French and German.

Tegen het einde van deze metereologische zomer, eind augustus, is het wellicht interessant te weten hoe de zomer tot nu toe heet en droog te noemen zijn t.o.v. van andere zomers. Ad Roos legt uit aan de hand van weermetingen, regionaal en landelijk, hoe de zaken ervoor staan. De gehele serie 'zomerhitte' staat op: https://gefilmdportret.org/portretten_reeks18.htm

When making a video portrait of a friend, it helps when you already know her (or him) for a long, long time. So it is with Michaela. She lives and works some 23 years in an old school in the village Roodeschool (i.e. red school) in the province Groningen, Netherlands. She became a true artist who sees life as a piece of art itself. She organizes ceremonies that are meant for health and well-being. She repaired and restored the school building herself with help from her friends. On the shore at the North Sea she tells us about her motivations and inspirations. Language: Dutch/Spanish Have fun watching!
