N.E.W.S.

About This Movie

N.E.W.S. is this intriguing short by Paul de Nooijer that captures a snapshot of early 80s experimental film. It's rich in its atmospheric tone, blending surreal visuals with an almost meditative pacing. There's a distinct sense of playfulness, yet an underlying depth that invites you to ponder the interplay of nature and human existence. The practical effects, though modest, have a certain charm that adds to the overall experience. It's not often you come across a piece like this that feels so open to interpretation, and while the performances are less about traditional acting, they resonate with an authenticity that feels rare. This film definitely stands out just for its unique approach to storytelling.

N.E.W.S. has had a bit of an uneven availability over the years, originally appearing in niche collections but often overshadowed by bigger titles from the era. As a result, it has developed a sort of cult following among collectors who appreciate its experimental style. Its scarcity on physical formats has made it a point of interest for those seeking out lesser-known works, and it’s definitely worth keeping an eye on in the collector community.
