SAAMAKA

2010 / 16mm / b&w / sound / 1 screen / 50' 00

In the Netherlands I was made aware of the film Djoeka completed around 1932. The film shows the journey of a group of white people to the Surinamese interior. I proposed the artist collective Totomboti to respond to the film by recording a soundtrack. We recorded their reactions, stories, performances and music, resulting in a soundtrack that follows their interpretation while leaving the original intact (besides cutting out the intertitles).
