Visions of Europe

Twenty-five films from twenty-five European countries by twenty-five European directors.

Micha Wertheim: Voor Gevorderden

Stage registration of the second comedy special by the Dutch comedian Micha Wertheim. This performance takes place in a dream, a dream in which Micha Wertheim shares all kinds of confessions, for example about how he manages to cope with the knowledge that he is probably not a real genius.

Jochem Myjer: Adéhadé

Destressing? Do that at home, will you! In 'Adéhadé', everything goes in overdrive, with many Dutch celebrity impressions.

Theo Maassen: Functioneel Naakt

Registration of the fourth theatre program by the Dutch comedian Theo Maassen.

Najib Amhali: Alles komt goed

With great pace, jokes and a good dose of self-mockery, the Moroccan comedian tells poignant stories taken from real life.

Theo Maassen: Ruwe Pit

Maassen won two of the biggest comedy contests in the Netherlands in 1990, the Groninger Studenten Cabaret Festival(GSCF), and Cameretten. The GSCF jury was not pleased with the quality of the contestants that year, and gave Maassen the first prize, remarking he was the best of the year, but still not very good. In the following years, however, Maassen fame grew steadily, especially amongst students. Maassens style was based on stand-up comedy: Alone on stage, telling jokes and stories to amuse the public, without any musical support (a thing common for most Dutch comedians up to that point).

Steef Cuijpers: Live in Toomler

A stand-up comedy set by the Dutch comedian Sfeer Cuijpers, recorded live in Toomler in January 2007.
