Still Moving

Eugene Paashuis, an award-winning Dutch Documentary Filmmaker and lighting designer, has created a pendant lamp that cleverly incorporates strips of archival 35mm and 70 mm movie film as shade for the finely-balanced LED light within. Aptly named Still Moving — it does so at .0083 frames per second. Slowly, perfectly. On a recent studio visit in Delft, I was won over by Paashuis's artisanal point of view: well-articulated contemporary technology married with the traditional, now century-old, medium of film. Sharing tea with the maker beneath the warm glow of Still Moving inspired...

Making light and breaking it, that's what it is all about After becoming an engineer in the seventies, Eugene Paashuis soon switched to filmmaking. He worked as a freelance documentary maker for Dutch public television. From 1993 onwards he was employed by VPRO Television, where he made films for numerous programs, such as VPRO Backlight (Tegenlicht). Most of his spare time was spent in the workshop, making furniture and lights. Homemade stuff, prototypes and some assignments. He founded LumiEus in 2013, thus had more time for designing lights, less for filming. The emphasis is on fixtures...

Quasar manufactures all lighting fixtures by hand in their headquarters in Giessen, The Netherlands. All models can be customised in size, colour and finish - a unique advantage against many competitors. The brand made its first appearance on an international fair on the 1992 Euroluce Milan and continued to grow since then to one of Europe's most unique and creative lighting manufacturers with an export rate of 75% of its production.

IMAX part 2, private residence

It must have been the sixties when I first familiarised myself with film, predominantly with the technology behind it. In the village where I lived, right at the German border, the cinema was called "Hotel Industrie". Besides news broadcasts and movies of which I do not remember anything, the cinema hosted dance evenings and sports demonstrations. Right there, my little brother effortlessly floored world judo champion Anton Geesink. In 1963, the building was temporarily vacated, and we boys could easily explore the spaces. Through a ditch and a tunnel into the building, we could enter the...

By standard we offer a selection of five colour films from the collection of the EYE Filmmuseum in Amsterdam (see next page). For the IMAX version there are two extra films. They are a mix of documentary and feature films, from the Netherlands and elsewhere. The story of each movie is summarised in a circulating strip of 35 or 70 mm film that is 36 up to 72 frames long. The film moves along slowly, every minute it proceeds one frame P When you buy your lamp you choose one story, but you can always change the look of your lamp by buying a new story. The exchange of the film roll is easy...
