Koert Davidse studied photography and visual arts at the St. Joost Academy in Breda. Subsequently, he has worked as a scriptwriter for both fiction films and documentaries. Since the late 1990s, he has also directed documentaries himself. In 2004, he established the seriousFilm production company together with Marc Thelosen. Tadanori Yokoo is a renowned Japanese artist whom Davidse has a great admiration for. He expresses this admiration by literally inserting himself into several of the paintings as an extreme form of identification with the artworks, and also as a means to come as close to these particular paintings as possible.

Vienna-based sales outlet Square Eyes has acquired Tim Leyendekker’s first feature “Feast” ahead of its world premiere in the Tiger Competition of the Rotterdam Film Festival. Variety has been given exclusive access to the trailer.
Based on the Groningen HIV case, in which three men drugged other men and infected them with their own HIV-infected blood, “Feast” is described by Square Eyes as “a bold and provocative film that skilfully reflects the questions of life, death and morality that have emerged from one of the most disquieting stories in contemporary Dutch life.”
Unfolding over seven individual vignettes, each directed by Leyendekker but shot in collaboration seven different cinematographers, the film blends reportage and surrealism, disbelief and empathy to unpack the repercussions and reverberations of a singularly shocking series of events.
Leyendekker told Variety: “With ‘Feast,’ I hope I can get people to actively think about the many different sides to a news story.
