Vincent hears voices and wonders where they come from. Guided by two elderly psychiatrists and the tones of his Sarangi, he starts a search within himself. Are the voices hallucinations or spirits from another world?

Voices of Vincent is a project that I initiated myself. The film had its premier at the Go Short International Film Festival, after which is was selected for many other festivals in the Netherlands and abroad. Newspaper NRC Handelsblad wrote a large article about our project. I was also happy to show the film at several conferences, which often sparked interesting discussions about its themes.

That way we had the chance to show the film to medical doctors, art lovers and anthropologists. Based on the audience, we would talk about the films different themes; the possibility of art as a medicine, the western focus on seeing schizophrenia as an illness or the severe side effects of medication.
