Graduation film: a visual and sensory ethnography of the body after death, donated to science and prepared for preservation. It examines the status of vision and its relationship to the other senses. The film questions the human quest to overcome the physicality of the flesh and deny our own mortality.
The film is a representation of a scientific ritual in which not the life of the person being celebrated is celebrated, but the physical remains left behind.

A* voor afstudeer film.
'This is a very challenging and ambitious project that tackles the physicality of death -- stripped off the accruements of funeral rites and other rituals developed in the western society to disguise death, to make it something in opposition to, or at least separate from, life.
It’s an excellent film on a number of levels. It’s relentlessness and refusal to let go off the viewer, but without crossing the boundary into being gratuitously graphic, are to be highly commended. As is the fact that you have managed to secure that level of access.
I think you should continue the conversation with the mortuary and try to convince them to allow you to submit the film to festivals. I imagine it would do very well on the circuit.'
'this is a truly exceptional film. It is a difficult watch even for the least squeamish of audiences, but the formal and detached precision of your framing coupled with an interesting use of sound and an extremely compelling subject matter showcase a unique and highly gifted filmmaker. If you do gain approval from your contributors you should seek to enter this film into as many film festivals as possible, because it is worthy of awards.'
