Writer / Director
Peet Gelderblom
Peet Gelderblom is a director, editor and video essayist from the Netherlands. His very diverse filmography includes documentaries, commercials, drama, online content and broadcast design. He has written and edited numerous articles and video essays for RogerEbert.com, IndieWire, Fantômas, Film School Rejects and Slant.
In 2016 became Gelderblom’s re-cut of Brian De Palma’s Raising Cain the first fan edit to be crowned official Director’s Cut. The Hollywood legend let him supervise its restoration for an internationally praised Blu-ray release. Gelderblom’s short fiction film Out of Sync, which screened at festivals worldwide, painted a uniquely involving portrait of a marriage at breaking point by separating sound from visuals. Film critic Matt Zoller Seitz described it as “formally adventurous and technically impeccable, but with soul and a point. A rare combination of aspects.”
A series of conceptual movie mash-ups created by Gelderblom, entitled Pretty Messed Up, had a 6-episode run on Filmscalpel and Fandor. The Road to Change, a heartfelt plea for a sustainable food system in the form of a 5 minutes long tracking shot, was awarded Best Commissioned Film of 2019. Currently, Gelderblom directs an as yet to be announced true crime documentary series for a popular streaming service.
