A World To Shape
We invite you to enjoy the special screening of A World to Shape. The documentary features the work of Nienke Hoogvliet and Dave Hakkens (DAE alumni 2013). The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Dave Hakkens and the audience. Current students will have the opportunity to engage in a dialogue about Dave’s trajectory, the making of the documentary and more. Pete Fung, DAE Community Organiser will host and moderate the event.

About the documentary

In A World to Shape, director Ton van Zantvoort guides you through the respective ingenuity of Nienke and Dave. Though they think differently, they are set on improving the world in their own inimitable ways. Nienke’s mission is to make the world’s second most polluting industry – the clothing industry – more sustainable. She is currently working on sustainable applications of seaweed, such as using it to make paint. Dave’s ambition is equally ambitious. His Kamp project attempts to establish a living and working community that uses a minimal carbon footprint. He is building this community in Portugal, where he has bought nine hectares of land. He has created a blueprint for a new society and made it open source so that anyone can adopt and improve it, and the system can be used worldwide. Where many people might see problems, Nienke and Dave envisage solutions. But how realistic are their ambitions? To find out, we join Dave and Nienke on their audacious guests.

We would like to thank Elbe Stevens Films team Nadine Bemelmans and Floor Krooi for making this possible.
