Peet Gelderblom

Peet Gelderblom is a director, writer, editor and video essayist from the Netherlands. His very diverse filmography includes collage films, documentaries, commercials, drama, online content and broadcast design. He has written and edited numerous articles and video essays for RogerEbert, IndieWire, Imagine Film Festival, Fandor, Film School Rejects and Slant. His archival fiction feature When Forever Dies carries the tagline "A cinematic fantasia 125 years in the making." Assembled from fragments of hundreds of largely forgotten movies - most of them found in the Eye Filmmuseum archives - it tells the story of two star-crossed lovers trapped in a kingdom of shadows, fighting to keep their love alive as they gradually fall in hate. In 2016, Gelderblom's re-cut of Brian De Palma's "Raising Cain" became 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.
