Time and tide is a cinematic essay on the stilling of nature. Filmmaker Marleen van der Werf closely observes the pace of the ever-changing coast. Following the tides of the wind, her camera slowly encounters the void of stillness. The natural scenery evolves into a simile for an emotional landscape.

film director

“Biology intensified my way of looking at the world and nature particularly, while at the same time philosophy forces me to ask plenty of questions. […] For me, nature still is a private space that provides instant relaxation and clearance of mind.”
