The Bretten is a small green stroke of wilderness near Amsterdam Sloterdijk (and our house). Martin has been filming there for years now. During the second half of 2021 we got a commision to create a video mix for an audio story about the Bretten. We filmed a lot in the Bretten, some footage was shot in Drenthe and a few animals were from stock.
The story takes you to a magical moment of talking animals, perhaps a metaphor for listening to nature? This story is a collaboration of the municipality of Amsterdam with the Nationale Opera, TurnClub & Studio de Maan. Voice-over: Steyn de Leeuwe.
