The Other River
Pieter Swier, 13mins, 2024
A person in a boat floats down a river and sees the surrounding landscape. At the same time he looks inward and sees fragments from paintings, pages from books, and memories of other landscapes.

Pieter Swier
Pieter works alone and is currently filming a series of documentaries and experimental films that focus on landscape, time, memory, and the practice of filmmaking itself.
For a living, he messes around in one of the oldest cinemas in Holland (Luxor Theater), where he works as chief technician and projectionist with digital, 35mm, 16mm, and 8mm formats. He is also an occasional projectionist at the Esker Film Society in Zwolle, mainly working with analogue film.
