Content is king, they say. But “content” is contained, by definition. Can the audience be “contented”, by watching canned content? Or is it rather longing to wonder, to be enriched without restrictions, to feel thrilled, seduced, challenged, enlightened, transported by films escaping from the tube or the silver screen? Moving pictures need space to move... the viewers. Let's open the can, let's liberate them!
Eric Vander Borght is a film director who prefers openings to closings. He enjoys opening his eyes and ears to explore. He enjoys movement, with a camera on the shoulder. He visited about 50 countries for his own filmmaking or for various counterparts, such as broadcasters, the United Nations, the Red Cross, the European Commission. In a 30+ year long career, he has created numerous documentaries, commercials and music videos.
Eric usually chooses to feature the human aspects of a story, as stories are core to the human experience. Projected on a screen, stories are a safe way for viewers to leave their comfort zone and to connect with other human beings. A way to make the screen an opening... Eric has worked closely with film directors as dramaturg and artistic advisor to help them structuring their stories. As a result of these collaborations, several films were multi-awarded, one made the opening of the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam, another was nominated for an Oscar.
Eric likes to wander. He wanders to wonder. And to share. Join the liberation movement of moving pictures!
