In the August newsletter, we already mentioned this project of the Zeeland Documentary Foundation:
“The Zeeland Documentary Foundation has submitted a request to the Family Fund for financial aid for the film plan ‘Cross in the dunes’. The aim of the Foundation is to make documentaries in and about Zeeland. Because the Foundation is known for its thorough research, which results in great documentaries, the administrators have decided to grant a contribution from the Family Fund.
The film plan ‘Cross in the dunes’ concerns a concrete cross on a dune top in the Walcheren dunes near Valkenisse. This cross commemorates the execution by firing squad of six people: three Belgian resistance fighters and three people from Zeeland, who were killed here by the German occupying forces. The cross is in a pitiful state and a number of volunteers, including MBO students, want to make a new cross to replace it.
The Zeeland Documentary Foundation wants to show this unique cooperation of initiators, historians, Belgian stakeholders, inhabitants and pupils of the school in question, and at the same time bring the history behind this memorial to the attention of a wide audience.
Curious about the documentary? Then watch the teaser. The Foundation has also created a website for the documentary.”
Last month we received the following message from the Foundation which we are happy to share with you:
As you may have already seen on our website kruisvalkenisse.nl or through our socials, we are busy creating the documentary. We still have two days of shooting scheduled in Belgium and then the final editing can take place.
On 28 December at 8 p.m. you can watch the documentary from the comfort of your own home. We will send you a link and through that link you can watch the documentary. The documentary will remain online for a few days and on 30 December it will have its premiere on Omroep Zeeland.
The film poster is already out! You can find it here. And we have recently shot many beautiful images. We filmed at the old cross, the new cross, in Vlissingen, in Middelburg, in Fort Rammekens and in the Museum in Arnemuiden.
