Kevin Boitelle on Trip-tych (2024)

Kevin Boitelle made his feature debut on a shoestring, and the result is one of the sharpest comedies about the Dutch film industry in years. Trip-Tych is simultaneously a film about making films and a meditation on what the creative process costs — personally, financially, and aesthetically. In conversation with Kiriko, Boitelle returns to his earliest film obsessions and the collaborations with friends that taught him what cinema should feel like: joyful, collective, and free. An episode about how to make something from nothing — and why the joy in that process is itself worth preserving.
