Anonymous asked: You remove reuploads on youtube, my question is why? isn't it free promotion?

Tell you why: I love that people are sharing my edits, but to a certain extent. I always want to be in control of the videos I make (for my copyright notifications in the description, for example), so if someone reuploads the video, I lose that control. So I try to communicate with the uploader (they usually don’t respond), and if that doesn’t work I put a copyright hit on them and YouTube removes it for me.

And then there’s people who put up ads next to it or slap their own watermarks on it. I don’t have anything to say to them.

Anonymous asked: Will you keep making this videos the next year?

I’m not ‘retiring’, but there will be less content. [the films of] was a great way to keep me busy, but now I’d really like to try something different. Not quite sure yet what that will be, but I’ll let you all know as soon as I find out!

emiloveswho asked: Thank you Kees for everything! Your [the films of] series has turned me into an even bigger film enthusiast. Thanks to you, starting tomorrow, I am about to start a 365 film project. :) Good luck with all your future endeavors. I hope we see some more of your work! Take a well deserved break. :]

Brilliant! I’d love to hear more about the project. I’m definitely taking some time off!

Happy holidays, everyone! Hope you’re enjoying your Christmas, don’t forget to check back here December 30th for [the films of] Steven Spielberg!

Every year in motion pictures has memorable moments, and 2011 is no exception. This year was filled with joy, excitement and melancholia, and with Cinema 2011 I try to capture this sea of emotion in 6 and a half minutes. Read more on the what, how and why here.

Thank YOU!

Anonymous asked: Picture lock on Cinema 2011?? How do you feel:) ?

Very relieved! There was a point in editing it where I wasn’t quite sure what it was going to be, but after watching some more of the films the ideas started to pour in and I’m very glad with the results. It’s very different from what you have seen but it’s also very familiar. I think you’ll be very pleased!
