Info
Om het 10-jarig bestaan van de euthanasiewet in Nederland te vieren en als onderdeel van de Week van de Euthanasie organiseert de NVVE (Nederlandse Vereniging voor een Vrijwillig Levenseinde) van 9 tot en met 12 februari 2012 het Levenseinde Film & Documentaire Festival THE END in Pathé Tuschinski in Amsterdam.
THE END is het eerste documentaire en film festival ter wereld dat zich richt op euthanasie en andere keuzes rondom het zelfgewilde levenseinde. De ruim dertig films en documentaires die worden vertoond zijn stuk voor stuk belangwekkend, vernieuwend, bewustmakend, grensverkennend en grensverleggend en lever(d)en een belangrijke bijdrage aan het debat over euthanasie en hulp bij zelfdoding in Nederland en het tot stand komen van de euthanasiewet. Zonder uitzondering brengen de films de kijker ertoe na te denken, te discussiëren en vragen te stellen bij het issue euthanasie.

trackrecord
As part of the festival, we will be hosting a Masterclass on Friday, February 10th at 5:15 PM, which will be given by director John Zaritsky from Canada. John Zaritsky has won over 30 awards for his documentaries. These include an Academy Award® (1982) for his documentary “Just Another Missing Kid†, a Cable Ace Award (1987) for “Rapists: Can They be Stopped†, a Golden Gavel Award for “My Husband is Going to Kill Me†, a Robert F. Kennedy Foundation Award for “Born in Africa†, and an Alfred Dupont Award from Columbia University’s School of Journalism in 1994 for “Romeo and Juliet in Sarajevo†. His films have won awards at the New York Film Festival and the American Film Festival, among others, and three of his films, “Broken Promises†, “Born in Africa†, and “Romeo and Juliet in Sarajevo†have been nominated for Emmy Awards. He has also won 6 Geminis, Canada’s national television awards.
Using his own footage, Zaritsky will explain how to direct politically and emotionally charged subjects and how to maintain professionalism and a businesslike distance versus the inevitable personal involvement in the stories during the intense and lengthy periods of filming.
