Paling Funk (2016). Music film
Paling Funk is a music documentary about authenticity and mash-ups. When do we call something “original”, if everything is a mix of different influences? Where do the origins of ideas lie, and who owns them? In the old town of Volendam, you are confronted with such questions. The documentary takes the viewer on a search the real story behind the underground music scene of Paling Funk, which blends the Dutch paling sound with the Brazilian Baile Funk.
In collaboration with Felipe Astolfi & Matei Szabo
The movie was shown at V2_ Rotterdam, Curiosity Killed the Cat Den Haag and Nacht van Kunst en Kennis Leiden
