Caviar co-founder and managing director Bert Hamelinck tells LBB’s Alex Reeves about the important choices that drove the company towards Sound of Metal and Academy Award-winning status
“It s been a long ride,” says Bert Hamelinck, satisfied yet relieved. “I m happy it s ending here. But it s a beautiful ending.” He’s talking about Sound of Metal, the latest feature film he’s produced - directed and co-written by Darius Marder - which has been a labour of love since 2016. It’s not just the movie itself that’s beautiful, telling the gripping story of a drummer (played by Riz Ahmed) losing his hearing; it’s also the first movie of Bert’s to win an Oscar - two, in fact, for Best Sound and Best Film Editing.
Bag of Tears The other creation, Bag of Tears, appears to the casual glance like a lady s purse with strands of clear plastic spilling out of it. The object loses its innocence with a closer look. Using a transfer technique, Gabriel imprinted the tea-dyed muslin purse with photographs that are dark in every sense of the word: images from the Holocaust and other 20th-century genocides. Gallery text explains that Gabriel was descended from European Jews and grew up in a Jewish neighborhood in the Bronx, N.Y. She claimed to have a complex relationship with her faith and cultural identity.
