Wolfgang Kolb

Wolfgang Kolb completed his film studies at Insas. For several years  Wolfgang filmed the work of dancer and choreographer Roxane Huilmand,  while she was working with Rosas and creating her own pieces. He found a  strong and demanding language, rejoining that of Roxane. Together with  her, Wolfgang created amongst others Muurwerk, Hoppla!, and Capricieuse.  About the last one, a cinematographic research by Roxane Huilmand about  the 24 caprices of Paganini, filmed in everyday life and in rehearsal,  the critics wrote: “The charismatic dancer and the director Wolfgang  Kolb have a perfect complicity that turns this film into a real  cinematographic marvel, with at least two magical moments: an animated  sketch of a dance and the image of the Sainte-Victoire Mountain, as  beautiful as in Cezannes painting.” Later he made amongst others La  Sainte Victoire and Vivre a? Jette.  As co-founder of Danscentrumjette  he also made the Jetherfst Festival compilation dvd’s with work of the  artists in residence.
 

“Starting from some classic movies we’ ll try to find ways and methods  to film movement. We look for ways of camera placements, timings and  editing methods to show and let feel movements on a moviescreen. We’ ll  discuss the reality of movements on film and the different ways of  catching it, the necessity of a point of view and the unbearable desire  of the filmmaker to let speak his assembly of shots.”
