The documentary Sounds of origin is a mosaic of stories about the power of survival in difficult circumstances, the roots of the portrayed people and the search for their identity, interspersed with (swinging) music and never-before-seen archival material of both musical performances and the colonial era of Netherlands East Indies. Hetty Naaijkens - Retel Helmrich shows the audience how Dutch Indo musicians managed to assimilate (with a hint of nostalgia) and how they cha...nged the Dutch musical landscape and far beyond, without even knowing it.

Batik tells a story like no other textile can about the history of an island people and their beliefs. From early influences of Hinduism and Islamic trade to a demand for brightly colored floral cloths highly prized in Europe, batik has made its way from the Sultan’s Palace in Yogyakarta to the village community, where highly skilled artisans produce batik for a range of buyers and tastes. Join us on this journey into the heart of batik making as we bring the process and the ...story of batik to life. We visit a family in Ambarawa, north Java, who produces indigo pigment to supply to numerous workshops across Java. From there we visit a collective of artisans in Central Java who take us through then entire process with rich narrative and stunning visuals along the way. We learn about their interesting past and their ideas for the future.
