Film Making

The name of the Hungarian animation film maker and producer George Pal (1908–1980) is almost unknown both in his home country Hungary and in the Netherlands, even though he played a key role in the formation of the Dutch animation film industry and was later granted with eight Oscars after he had emigrated to the USA. Once personally for the invention of a new animation film making technique, the so-called Puppetoon system. In this article I would like to summarize and fill his biography with until now unknown facts. Besides that, I would like to introduce his development, the puppetoon-system and demonstrate why we should see Pal as the founder of the Dutch industrial animation production.

Abstract The name of Hungarian animation film maker George Pal (1908-1980) is almost unknown, both in his home country Hungary and in the Netherlands. His 110th birthday anniversary passed without any commemoration in spite of the fact that he was a key figure in the Dutch animation film history. In this article I would like to demonstrate why we should see Pal as the founder of the Dutch industrial animation production and which role he has in the research on the cultural relations between the Netherlands and Hungary in the period before the World War II. His influence on the Dutch animation film industry has been hardly analyzed until now. On the base of source research, which adds to the incomplete publications, I would like to prove why the invitation of Pal to the Netherlands in July 1934 had a fundamental influence on the Dutch animation production. Later on, this research will be the beginning of a thorough study of the importance and the network of George Pal in the Netherlands.

ABSTRACTA group of 141,345 immigrants from the Netherlands Antilles, a former colony, live in the Netherlands. An increasing number of these migrants are at or above retirement age, and for them, the question of where they want to grow old becomes relevant. It is important for people to age in a place where they feel at home, as attachment to place increases wellbeing in old age. In this article we discuss how older Antillean migrants in the Netherlands make their house and immediate living environment into a home. We focus on home-making practices in a broader cultural context, and in relation to wellbeing. These topics are addressed by drawing on qualitative life-history interviews with Antillean older people, who live in a co-housing community for older adults. It turns out that objects which remind the participants of their home country play an important role in making a home. Also, the community, with people from similar backgrounds, contributes to a sense of home. Finally, the presence of children and other family members is a key motivation for the participants' decision to age in the Netherlands.

In many countries, including the UK, proposals are currently being made for the extension of legal deposit to electronic and other non-print material. Some countries such as Switzerland and the Netherlands have no national legal deposit legislation, though voluntary deposit works well in the latter. Norway has the most advanced legislation, requiring the deposit of all lands of media. In few countries is any range of material actively handled, and a very few deal with online publications. There is scope for international coordination of proposals through such bodies as CDNL, CENL, IFLA and UNESCO. The aim of totally comprehensive collecting of all published material may be accepted as unrealistic, and some selectively is likely to be necessary. The current situation with regard to deposit of non-print material in 11 west European countries, Australia, Canada and the USA is recounted.

Abstract We investigated whether the language of instruction (Dutch or English) influenced the study success of 614 Dutch and German first-year psychology students in the Netherlands. The Dutch students who were instructed in Dutch studied in their native language (L1), the other students in a second language (L2). In addition, only the Dutch students studied in their home country. Both these variables could potentially influence study success, operationalised as the number of European Credits (ECs) the students obtained, their grades, and drop-out rates. The L1 group outperformed the three L2 groups with respect to grades, but there were no significant differences in ECs and drop-out rates (although descriptively, the L1 group still performed best). In conclusion, this study shows an advantage of studying in the L1 when it comes to grades, and thereby contributes to the current debate in the Dutch media regarding the desirability of offering degrees taught in English.

Both formal and informal types of child care are important sources of support for working parents andespecially women. However, little is known about the way migrant families combine their work andfamily responsibilities in the context of an absent or limited social support network. We explore this issueusing the example of Polish migrant parents living in the Netherlands and compare their practices tothose of their Dutch and Polish counterparts in the Netherlands and Poland. The aim of our research isto investigate whether migrant parents adapt to the new institutional context, draw on the childcarenorms of their home country, or whether they adopt a unique strategy that reflects their specific positionof migrants, formulated as separate hypotheses. We found support for all of the three hypotheses andshowed that the childcare practices of Polish parents living in the Netherlands are highly dependent onthe age of the youngest child. We also found that the extent to which Polish migrants integrate into theDutch society can be an important predictor of their childcare strategies when the children are veryyoung.

We draw on the concept of deportability to show how unauthorized migrants who (used to) live in the Netherlands perceive and experience Dutch internal-control mechanisms. We first conclude that these migrants’ deportability has serious legal, social, and existential effects on them, which they feel long after their return or deportation to their home country. Second, we state that unauthorized migrants evaluate the Dutch internal-control mechanisms as “one system” in which they distinguish three important, interlinked layers, consisting of (1) divergent actors, (2) laws and policies inside and outside the migration control domains located within (3) different geographies. This implies that individual nation-states, through their internal control mechanisms, also contribute to the externalization of migration control at a supranational level. We conclude that the state’s internal migration controls bring about immobility not only in the countries of settlement but also in the transit and home countries.
