Rutger Hauer's acting career spans over 40 years, and he also has a number of directing credits to his name in the international film industry. In short, he is an 'expert extraordinaire'. Rutger Hauer intends to use this Masterclass to convey his legacy to a new generation of ambitious and talented film professionals.
The Rutger Hauer Filmfactory serves to unite participating talent with major players in the film industry who share their knowledge and experience during the Masterclass. It offers a behind the scenes look at film, with Rutger Hauer in the driver's seat as he takes the participants on a tour of his creative domain. Rutger plans to use the rawness of film making as his point of departure for the Masterclass. A game involving the audience to whom you, the filmmaker, wish to tell a story.
The previous two editions of the masterclass were energized by the presence of a range of international film professionals who inspired the participants through intensive coaching and lectures. Among these were the producers of Black Book, San Fu Maltha and Jos van der Linden, directors John Putch (Mojave Phone Booth Ugly Betty) and Anton Corbijn (Control), script editors Robert Alberdink Thijm and Franz Rodenkirchen, DOP’s Robby Muller (Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark), Reinier van Brummelen (Crusade in Jeans, Nightwatching) and Richard Oosterhout (Guernsey, Wolfsbergen), editors Molly Stensgaard (Dancer in the Dark, Dogville), Job ter Burg (Black Book, Godforsaken) and Peter Alderliesten (Love is all).
