About

Two documentaries by Monique Pool and Thanya Fonkel examine the balance between progress, nature and inherited values.

Makandra: Toekomst is a 2025 documentary diptych by Monique Pool and Thanya Fonkel. It brings together two films about the search for balance between progress, nature and traditions that communities pass on across generations. In Vogelvrij, filmmaker Monique Pool examines the fragile bond between people and nature through animals that live in Suriname. The film links the protection of biodiversity to the country's future. In Ontwikkeling, alles op zijn tijd, filmmaker Thanya Fonkel returns to her Marron background. She considers how development can contribute to the future of the interior, while keeping the values and traditions of her community in view.
