Passage, 2019
together with Sarah Hoogman
Watch
Passage is a film about the underground. The subcultural underground as a place of refuge and coming of age. But also in the sense of a spiritual refuge, a place of divergence from both cultural and religious norms and spiritual safety. It visualizes the battle to find this safe space through rituals that bring the protagonist closer to his ideal world, an undergound haven, outside of the real world. Rituals characterized by, among other things, a combination of elements from different subcultures, religious ceremonies and ancient warrior cultures.
