Stefan Malešević speaks with director Luuk Bouwman, whose documentary The Propgandist will be shown in De Balie later this night.
Luuk Bouwman is a versatile artist – he directed and co-directed documentaries and music videos. He was a director of photography on Dick Verdult’s feature fiction film Als uw gat maar lacht. He made one of the first vlogs in history, formed two band (Cold Void and Aux Raus) and ran his own radio show on Red Light Radio.

We will also dive deeper into his passion for researching history and diving into archive materials, which most recently led to his newest film The Propagandist, premiering at IDFA this year.
