- A cinematic quest for the man behind photographer Sanne Sannes, a contemporary of Ed van der Elsken. In 1967, Sannes died in a car accident at the age of thirty. He left behind thousands of pictures of naked women; dark, mysterious and experimental. After a period of relative obscurity, his work is now in demand among collectors. Filmmaker Frodo Terpstra was introduced to Sannes' work and was immediately intrigued by the artist, particularly by a girl's portrait which has been meticulously scratched. It turned out that Terpstra rode his bike for many years along the road in Bergen where Sannes had his fatal accident. Through conversations with the past models, Terpstra tries to find the key to Sannes' mystifying work. Gradually, the image emerges of an outsider who could only make contact with women through his photos and who grew increasingly unhappy in his final years. After conversations with Gerrit Jan Wolffensperger, who sat next to Sannes in the car as his assistant, and Sanne's youngest brother Rob Sannes, the quest eventually evokes as many questions as answers.
- The film "You are my Africa. A Black and White Love Story" is an autobiographical documentary film about the filmmaker Helmut Schulzeck and his Kenyan wife Wangechi. Africa was for him mostly for years Cape Town. There he met one day the Kenyan woman Wangechi Njenga. She became his Africa. The film "You are my Africa" tells the story of a love and an approach. It captures a gradual development and a adventure, in which two cultures clash and show only a limited understanding of and dealing with each other. How does Wangechi deal with Germany and how does Helmut with Kenya? How does Germany deal with Wangechi and how does Kenya with Helmut? The film gives answers to these questions at a personal level. The locations are Germany, Cape Town and the Kenyan Highlands in the Rift Valley Area. Helmut and Wangechi got married in April 2006, during Wangechi's second stay in Germany. No one of Wangechi's extended family in Kenya and Cape Town knew of this marriage until in December 2006 / January 2007 the two of them visited for the first time Wangechi's family in Kenya. Helmut had broken with the custom of proposing to the bride's father first and to offer him a handsome dowry in return for his wife. How will he be received by her family and how will he handle this precarious situation? The film watches very intimately and close there the new German-Kenyan family life in the countryside. Especially Helmut is watched how he handles now the new situation. Among other things thereby Kenyan prejudices about "the rich white man" collides with Helmut's excessive demands with the life there. Consistently Helmut is faced with a strange life. He realizes this strange way of African life at every turn. He assimilates this culture shock very slowly and stresses in doing that his wife. But this marriage remains totally naturally for Wangechi, when she says, "You are my husband".
