NPSKORT is a platform for new talent and established names to make a 10 minutes short fiction film for theatre and television. Out of over a hundred scripts ten are selected and receive finance to create a film. One of the selected scripts was Arie, written by the young and talented director Michiel ten Horn. Shot on 35 mm in Cinemascope, Arie is a film about a lonely old man suffering from dementia who miraculously finds new friendship caused by the sudden death of his pet canary. For the lead role we managed to sign the granddad of granddads: Sesame Streets Aart Staartjes. Check out this short fragment.
