Zesbaans are extremely excited and proud to be asked to make an installation for the Nederlands Film Festival. Its all going to happen really fast. 8 weeks from now I'm hoping to write a very enthusiastic post about how great everything went, how we got to be better people in the process and most importantly how everything just worked and shined like a beacon. But for now. Week 1.

NFF is going to be celebrating 30 years of Dutch film. So it's an extra special edition. The NFF is going to try to seem more approachable for the general public this year, as in the past the event was viewed more for professionals. Perhaps due to the tinted windows and security. Because it is not only about the golden calf. There are lectures, debates, talkshows and of course dutch cinema for all. This is a good starting point, getting people's interest peaked. 

After a quick random brainstorm gave us these basic ideas:

• Taking the Dutch polder landscape and projecting it onto the city
• Making a "live" video mosaic of 30 years of sex scenes displayed in mirror form
• Have the public act out different famous scenes with their faces mapped over the actors
• Have a gallery of interactive video portraits where the actors would mimic your emotions via a webcam.

Plus many more interpretations of scribblings on sketchpads.

On wednesday we had a productive kickoff with NFF and PLAY. And I think they'll be supplying us with some productional "muscle". If we end up using the muscles to give us a great edit of all the "sex scenes". We'll see…

Anyways, its my birthday today and I'm finding it harder to come up with words but I think this will be ok...its the first week right? To give you a preview of what to expect next week. I have the inkling suspicion that you might see more of the interactive video portraits and perhaps some technical research.
