Delta Phase 1

Bert Haanstra, 1962

Post-war Dutch film documentaries received international acclaim for their picturesque qualities. Here Bert Haanstra filmed the closing of the Veerse Gat, a sea arm between two islands in the province of Zeeland that was dammed in 1961 as part of the Delta Works. The film was widely shown abroad and thus made a significant contribution to the Netherlands image as a country battling against water.
