The dilapidated mansions in Groningen hold up a mirror to people. How does man ultimately deal with his own decay, transience and legacy? And: will he stay or will he leave?

KEY TO HEAVEN

KEY TO HEAVEN, the hybrid film by Digna Sinke, is now in a kind of watchable work-in-progress stage. The finishing touches are being made in the editing, and the sound finishing will take place in October.
Producer is Tomtit Film, and SNG Film is co-producer.

Logline:
From the perspective of the filmmaker, we follow the process of a possible feature film about a photographer (Lea) who is tasked with documenting the energy transition in the port area of Amsterdam. Finding a young dead man brings up a flood of memories and associations. What do you do with what hasn’t gone well in your life? How well can you know someone dear to you?

A Tile and a Golden Calf for Digna

At the Dutch Film Festival 2023, Digna Sinke received the Golden Calf for Film Culture. To celebrate this, three of her films were screened at the Netherlands Film Festival: Weemoed & Wildernis, After the Tone and Belle van Zuylen.

In addition, Digna has unveiled a tile with a print of her hand in the Walk of Fame, in the Vinkenburgstraat in Utrecht. As a motto she has written a Zeeland saying: ‘t Wiest z’n eige. That means something like: It’s self-explanatory, you’ll find your way by itself, you’ll be fine.
