-Who is Margreet Kramer?

I am a Dutch cinematographer and  I took documentary courses for 3 years before going to Art School for 5 years in Amsterdam The Gerrit Rietveld Academy. Graduated at the Audiovisual Department. My themes are broadly: seemingly insignificant rituals/actions of everyday life. Here I literally zoom in on human actions with my camera.     

-What inspired you to become a filmmaker?

For me it is very important to look differently at the world around us as it were in micro format to zoom in on human actions and execute it macro. Film is about time and movement which I find exciting.  It’s magic. Inspired by Ingmar Bergman, Agnès Varda, Jeanne Dielman, Tarkovsky and Chantal Akerman

-Do you think that cinema can bring a change in the society?

Cinema can definitely have a lot of influence on the way we think and act. The ability to touch souls in the briefest of moments and contemplation.

-What would you change in the world?

I would like to change the world in its speed and amount of stimuli and information. So being more aware of the small.

-Where do you see the film industry going in the next 100 years?

I hope the film industry will develop more attention to Art Film but for now I don’t see it happening so soon. There are no less cinemas in the future. Which I regret. Everyone watches at home with a laptop or projector. And in The Netherlands there is less money to make nice productions.
