Description

In the mid-1980s, Tilburg seemed lost. The influence of Catholicism waned, and the disappearance of the textile industry literally left gaps in the city, lacking a true city center. This classic documentary takes you into the mood and atmosphere of Tilburg city life in the '80s. The black and white footage stimulates the imagination and presents a stark contrast to contemporary Tilburg. The film will be introduced by Teuntje van de Wouw.

Teuntje van de Wouw is a creative art historian in the archival field. She studied Graphic Design at AKV | St. Joost in Breda, followed by art history at Utrecht University. She worked for several years as an exhibition maker and curator in the cultural sector. Since 2020, she has been working at the Regional Archive Tilburg as a project leader for images and sound. Prior to the film 'City,' she will discuss the development of Tilburg since the '80s.
