Dick Verdult is a shape-shifting, multifaceted artist, and musician. He was born in the Netherlands, grew up in Guatemala, and studied film in Paris in the aftermath of the ’68 student revolts. His diversity of experience has led him to create art that defies categorization. Whimsical, elusive, and unshakably cheerful, Verdult has forged a path for himself that inspires and delights at every turn.

MARGARET MEAD FILMMAKER AWARD CONTENDER
“What I hope to activate with the film is a sense of opening up of possibilities, through irony, poetry, encounters. One thing that making the film activated in me was curiosity about the details of the art practice and methods of someone whose work attracts me. What it also activated was endurance. I wanted the film to be light and cheerfull but to realise it, to structure it, took time.”
