THE IVY STILL MOURNS<br />
53 min. 2007 The Netherl<strong>and</strong>s<br />
After a turbulent life as an artist, Leon van der Heijden <strong>and</strong> his wife Willemijn – he as a<br />
gardener/painter, she as his girl Friday <strong>and</strong> muse – withdrew to the age-old cemetery known<br />
as Huis te Vraag.<br />
This cemetery lies hidden to the passer-by close to Amsterdam’s office park on the city’s south<br />
ring. There have not been any burials here since 1962; the cemetery however still functions as<br />
a park <strong>and</strong> place of tranquillity.<br />
Under constant pressure from the hustle <strong>and</strong> bustle, project developers <strong>and</strong> encroaching<br />
new neighbourhoods, Leon <strong>and</strong> Willemijn have spent the last 20 years of their lives creating,<br />
maintaining <strong>and</strong> preserving a paradise on earth. Leon often records the beauty of this spot –<br />
cemetery <strong>and</strong> meadow – on canvas <strong>and</strong> he also writes books about it.<br />
In the <strong>film</strong> we become acquainted with two idiosyncratic individuals, bound together in<br />
remarkable marriage, in a beautiful <strong>and</strong> in changing place. A place where living <strong>and</strong> working,<br />
living <strong>and</strong> dying <strong>and</strong> being buried all come together in their own unique way.<br />
LUUDEROHI LEINAB<br />
Autor Barbara den Uyl<br />
Portree<strong>film</strong> kunstnik Leon van der Heijdenist ja tema naisest Willemijnist, kes on oma elu<br />
pühendanud vanale kalmistule Amsterdami lähistel. Üleni luuderohusse põimunud, kohati lausa<br />
läbimatuks võsaks kasvanud rahulasse pole enam maetud ühtki inimest pärast 1962. aastat.<br />
Kunstnikepaar püüab siin luua omaette maailma, kummalist paradiisi elu ja surma vahel.<br />
Huis de Vraagi surnuaial toimuvast on omaette kunstiteose loonud holl<strong>and</strong>i režissöör Barbara<br />

JAMESIE, KING OF SCRATCH<br />
70 min. 2006 USA (<strong>film</strong>ed in US Virgin Isl<strong>and</strong>s)<br />
Scratch b<strong>and</strong> music, also known as Quelbe, is an indigenous, grass-roots form of folk music that<br />
originated in the U.S. Virgin Isl<strong>and</strong>s over a century ago. The lyrics are a form of oral history used<br />
to immortalize significant historical events, spread “rude” gossip about one’s neighbours, <strong>and</strong><br />
relay the day-to-day trials <strong>and</strong> tribulations of living on a small Caribbean isl<strong>and</strong>. Playing with<br />
some homemade instruments made from tin cans <strong>and</strong> gourds, the music has a crudeness to it<br />
that is intoxicating <strong>and</strong> rhythmic speaking to both the beauty <strong>and</strong> the hardship of the Crucian<br />
(of St. Croix) lifestyle. 79-year old James Brewster has performed <strong>and</strong> recorded throughout the<br />
Caribbean, Europe <strong>and</strong> the United States <strong>and</strong> is the legendary “King of Scratch”<br />
JAMESIE, SCRATCHI KUNINGAS<br />
Autor Andrea Lel<strong>and</strong><br />
Scratch-muusika, mis kannab ka nime Quelbe, pärineb USA Neitsisaarte rahvamuusikast.<br />
Sedalaadi lüürika sisaldab suusõnal edasiantavat ajalugu, karmi klatši naabrite aadressil, mis<br />
vahelduvad igapäevaelu katsumustega Kariibi mere väikesel saarel. Käepäraste muusikariistadega<br />
– konservipurkidest ja pudelkõrvitsatest – luuakse ehe ja rohmakavõitu, ent joovastava<br />
rütmiga lugulaul nii kohaliku eluviisi võlust kui valust. Leg<strong>and</strong>aarseks scratchi kuningaks on<br />
tituleeritud 79-aastane James Brewster, keda on kuulatud ja salvestatud Kariibidel, Euroopas<br />
ja Ameerikas.<br />
