With Tanja Fraai (director) and the artist José Maria Capricorne.

About: we show a short movie (in Dutch, with English subtitles) of the documentary that we are making about the artist Capricorne from Curaçao.

  • African influences in his paintings (figures, movements, colours)
  • African influences on the island of Curaçao (music)
  • Curaçao as a fundamentally multicultural society
  • The relationship between myself and the artist: why do I make a documentary about Capricorne? What aspects will I highlight?
  • Details about the documentary: what, when, with whom?
  • Welcome!
