“For me that material aspect of film comes first: a beam of light onto the screen. And what is communicated in that bombardment of light onto a screen is always fiction.” – Johan van der Keuken

Light on a Screen is Always Fiction, Mark-Paul Meyer, 2013

Johan van der Keuken was a photographer and a filmmaker. As a filmmaker he operated the camera himself. The world around him, reality, was his subject. He stood out as a photographer and as a filmmake...

Devoted myself to the born-digital since realizing I could use “day job” geotech to make experimental work but it’s already a high point of 2025 that two of my analog pieces will bracket #FROWNLAND curated by @stefanomiraglia.bsky.social for Chute Film Coop (Den Haag/Istanbul).

Details to follow.

Photo of dozens of windows in a brick mid-rise apartment building with "#1 Frownland curated by Stefano Miraglia" superimposed. It's the first such program to be offered by Chute Film Coop.

Lyrics from Captain Beefheart's Frownland above introductory remarks to the program.

Happy to announce my next film is 'Grounds, Premises' (16'44"). I filmed it last summer during a teaching residency at Kasteel Well. It'll take a while to premiere (picture locked, grade almost done courtesy of @dagscott.bsky.social, no mix yet), but I'm proud of it and can't wait to share more.
