Off to the Low Countries for some hi-jinks

Yeah, I know, I was supposed to write about more of the ND/NF. Reality intervened, as it frequently does. First my hard drive imploded. Then my deadlines exploded.

The Netherlands has given us Joris Ivens and Johan van der Keuken, who may be the most unfairly neglected documentarian in film history. I'll be shopping for DVDs, eating a lot more than is good for me, and generally having a fine time.
