Wim van der Linden

Wim van der Linden (1 January 1941, Amsterdam – 4 April 2001, Miami) was a Dutch photographer and film and television director.

His "Tulips", one of four experimental and satirical Sad Movies (1966-1967), is praised as one of the dramatic high points of Dutch film history,[1] and with Wim T. Schippers and others he made groundbreaking and controversial television shows for the VPRO in the 1960s to the 1970s.

Van der Linden studied at the Netherlands Film and Television Academy,[1] and gained prominence as a photographer in the early 1960s, taking pictures of nozems, teenagers who made up the first Dutch counterculture of the post-World War II period.

To open the exposition, the city's spokesperson, Jan Mastenbroek, delivered a passionate lecture in which he used his photos as evidence to emphasize the urgency of developing the Bijlmermeer as a space to build large, clean homes.

[4] "Tulips", a favorite among critics, consisted of a two and a half-minute film of a credenza with a vase of tulips on it; the camera is motionless and the film consists of one single long take, with tension provided courtesy of one single leaf that falls as the camera slowly zooms in[5] and a dramatic soundtrack.
