Dit is het begin. 50 jaar 100-urenbezetting hoofdgebouw VU

About This Movie

So, 'Dit is het begin' is this documentary that reflects on a monumental 50-year journey of the VU's main building. It's not flashy but carries a weighty tone as it digs into the history and significance of the space. The pacing fluctuates, sometimes slow and meditative, allowing you to really absorb the stories and voices of the people connected to the building. There's a certain rawness in the way it's shot—no overproduced visuals here, just grounded, archival footage mixed with candid interviews. It feels like a conversation, almost like you're sitting down with the institution's legacy itself. The lack of a known director gives it an air of collective storytelling, which feels fitting for such a communal subject.
