Is Heaven Blue?
The Films of Paul, Menno & Françoise de Nooijer 1968-2021IS HEAVEN BLUE? is een uitgebreid overzicht van het indrukwekkende cinematografische oeuvre van PAUL, MENNO & FRANÇAISE DE NOOIJER. In ruim vijftig jaar maakten zij 150 eigenzinnige films in een persoonlijke, herkenbare stijl: de eerste in 1968, de meest recente in 2021. Dit 650 pagina’s tellende boek toont een selectie van ruim 3.500 filmbeelden uit 100 films, waarvan een aantal in stop-motion animatie. Het werk van de De Nooijers is wereldwijd op tal van filmfestivals getoond en bekroond. ‘Wat gefantaseerd kan worden, moet ook getoond worden.’ Deze uitspraak loopt als een rode draad door het filmisch oeuvre van de De Nooijers. Filmkenner en auteur PETER DELPEUT schetst in zijn inzichtelijke introductie [NL/ENG] een levendig en intens beeld van werk en werkwijze van de drie hoofdpersonen en hun unieke samenwerking voor en achter de camera. De Engelse vertaling is van de hand van MICHELE HUTCHISON.

Jonas Mekas, Shiver of Memory
Delpeut examines how distorting memory can be, tests the [accusatory] claims against the work of Mekas in his films, diaries, poetry, and testimonies. His book is a fascinating case of historical criticism. —Art Magazine Flanders Whatever track Delpeut follows, whatever line of reasoning he tries, he will not arrive at a complete understanding, let alone an unequivocal judgement. His thoughtful, vulnerable, meandering attempts fascinated me. The failure of Jonas Mekas's rehabilitation ensured that this book about him was successful.—De Groene Amsterdammer Radical subjectivity is the basis of Mekas's work. Delpeut struggles with his admiration for Mekas. “My hero must not be a liar,” says Delpeut. How is he to judge Mekas' past? A man writes about a man who has written about a man who made movies about his memories. Such a topic is difficult to describe. The book contains many, all equally interesting aspects.—Trouw Zeitgeist "Not another study of Mekas’s work, but a reflection on Mekas’s past and his media image, the role of the historian, the way collective and individual memories work, and certain events that happened in Lithuania during the Second World War. ... This book is absolutely timely and essential, raising key questions about memories and the way to record, collect, or relate them. It is also about silence and trauma, about not being able to remember or revisit past experiences, about history and subjectivity, and about individual responsibility too. And it certainly invites us to reconsider the life and work of one of the twentieth century’s major film artists." —Muriel Tinel-Temple, Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media Praise for Past Works: Delpeut is an acclaimed Dutch author frequently reviewed in the most highly circulated periodicals and magazines, including Esquire, Literary Netherlands, De Groene Amsterdammer, and other international publications. His work has been called "exceptionally mature," "mysteriously beautiful," and himself a "careful and visual writer," "skilled" in observation of the minutest detail. Delpeut writes in a meandering, micro-detailed way, but also with fascinating mindfulness; he forces you to look far from our present hectic existence…. Delpeut does not impose anything. He leads the way. And the road is fascinating all the way to the end. —Esquire, Netherlands
