Als wij GROOT zijn / When we are BIG

Sep 5, 2006 - sf360: Telluride Film Festival
http://www.sf360.org/features/2006/09/telluride_film.html
For the first time that anyone knew of, loud boos and chat calls were heard at the festival following the screening of a film, the Dutch short "When We Are Big." The chilling and unforgettable story infuriated some in the audience, but left others baffled by the filmmaker's intentions.

After years finally open for everybody to see!

The most disturbing short ever!

[ResFantasyfan]

Wow, I'm sure there are many different interpretations for this film. It is very disturbing, but somehow rather poignant. I would assume that that was Ketterings' intention. I think it represents how we, as we get older, forget what it's like to be a child. As such, we tend to ignore, or fail to notice, when our children are struggling and trying to get our attention, even when it is of dire importance. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but I AM running on less than 3 hours sleep.

I know the little girl now, she got that huge mole on her shoulder removed and she is really mean and she is especially mean to me she is also kind of dumb and cheats on tests and exams
