(auto-translated from Dutch)
In the short film BETWEEN GLANCES (Dutch fiction-drama), we follow the journey of the protagonist, Omar. He has recently arrived in the Netherlands and is trying to find his way in bustling Amsterdam. On his way to school, he encounters many people, yet he makes genuine contact with no one. This film explores the intersection of digitalization, social cohesion, and integration in contemporary society. To what extent is simple interaction still possible in a time of isolation?
The film was commissioned by my Creative Business program, which is collaborating with NPO 3 Lab this semester. I am in my second year and will be directing for the first time. With this assignment, NPO 3 Lab, in collaboration with the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, encourages young makers to have a short film developed, written, and produced within a short period.
The aim of the film is to make people reflect on how the digitalization of our society influences the integration process of newcomers in the Netherlands. Generally, they fall outside the bubble, not only offline but also online. The story is not tragic, but shows the strength of the character Omar, who refuses to be defined by current society. He goes through daily life with ease without a phone. Who are the real victims of the current system? And what can we learn from Omar?
