" In early 2022, I was delightfully commissioned by International House of Literature Passa Porta to create short video portraits of a number of authors-in-residence.
For this fourth portrait, I spoke with Dutch author, actor, director and translator Martin Michael Driessen.
He talks about his latest book "Het licht aan het einde van de loop" about his experience of Brussels as a kind of Gotham City, and about the long-planned novel "Liefde in het Derde Rijk," for which he was finally able to make time in Brussels."
For the fourth time this year, Sarah Baur created a short video portrait of an author in residence, this time of Martin Michael Driessen.

By the way, the band made it to the national news (VRT): "Happy about the turnout" but not about the climate policies though... Let's keep on making noise!
