Decision pending transports the audience to the political stage in Brussels where there is a subdued and indefinable sense of chaos and uncertainty festering.
In Decision pending Tomas Hendriks observes parliamentary and commission meetings – the habitat of Brussels politicians. He leads us through a web of streets, inner courts, corridors and meeting rooms in the parliament. In this macrocosm tensions arise between the individual and the city, which lead to a situation of overall uncertainty.
Be taken by surprise by this audiovisual symphony which is steeped in both familiar and alienating sentiments.
Possibly the name Tomas Hendriks doesn’t ring any bells. This Dutch cinematographer/composer recently graduated from KASK (Royal Academy of Fine Arts) in Ghent and with Decision pending makes his first medium-length documentary.
After talk with Tomas Hendriks and Sofie Verdoodt.
