The European

In this incredibly timely new film, Director Dirk Jan Roeleven goes ‘behind the scenes and up close’ with Vice-President of the European Commission Frans Timmermans.

He follows the Dutch politician for nearly two years, from TV interviews to appointments with world leaders, squeezing in moments for family commitments between summits and international visits.

Filmed in taxis, planes and cheerless hotel rooms, this is a fascinating portrait of a politician at the heart of Europe, as the migrant crisis unfolds and the Brexit referendum looms.
