Hello! My name is Bram Ruiter and I am an experimental filmmaker based in the Netherlands. With my films, I take a collage-like approach to form and a communal angle to production through which I examine creation, process, visibility and structure.
Check out my resume (PDF) for more details.
Films
- A Weave of Light is a short experimental documentary inspired by an expired but undeveloped super8 film-roll of unknown origin.
- Perpetual Spawning is a machinima time-lapse in real-time filmed at a malfunctioning subway in Grand Theft Auto IV.
- The diaristic No Service is a travelogue concerned with landscapes whirling past and an equally fleeting internet connection.
Other films I've made include the desktop landscape film Sequence 01, the short choreography documentary Beyond the Usual, the travelogue Die Labirint, and the ongoing machinima San Andreas Series. And many eons ago (2014), I created and co-directed Super Game Jam, a documentary series about making a video game in 48 hours.
Other work
Besides making films, I teach a filmmaking course (BA and MA) at ArtEZ University of the Arts in Zwolle. I occassionally write for the online film publication Frameland. I've also designed it and helped set it all up. And I release music as Cloack and under my own name.
