Jack Wouterse will be the Guest of the Year at the 29th Netherlands Film Festival. With an extensive programme section, the festival pays tribute to this versatile and dynamic actor, who has accumulated an impressive oeuvre, including a wide variety of roles in Dutch film and TV productions.
With his robust build, Jack Wouterse infuses his characters with a vigorous aura, but he also manages to render deeply vulnerable characters. He has appeared in over 35 feature films, including THE NORTHERNERS (Alex van Warmerdam, 1992), TEMMINK: THE ULTIMATE FIGHT (Boris Paval Conen, 1998), WITH GREAT JOY (Lodewijk Crijns, 2001) and TOO FAT TOO FURIOUS (Tim Oliehoek, 2005). He also played roles in TV productions like EN ROUTE (Paul Ruven, 1994) and SUZY Q (Martin Koolhoven, 1999), in TV series like ALL STARS (Jean van de Velde, 1999-2001) and in short films like SAND (Joost van Ginkel, 2008). Currently, Jack Wouterse can be seen in the stage production TOCHT at the RO Theater and in the fall he will appear in Ineke Smits’ latest film, THE AVIATRIX OF KAZBEK.
Jack Wouterse was twice awarded the Grand Prize of the Dutch Film, the Golden Calf. In 1994, he received this award for his part in Paul Ruven’s film EN ROUTE and in 1999 he clinched a Golden Calf for the title role in Martin Koolhoven’s SUZY Q. For this film, he also received a FIPA d’Or at the Festival International de Programmes Audiovisuels (FIPA) in Biarritz.

Every year, the film festival asks its Guest of the Year to supervise a special section. During the ten festival days, Jack Wouterse and a number of fellow actors and actresses will shoot a short film. The work-in-progress will be shown daily during the festival. At the end of the event, the short film will have its première.
During the festival, Jack Wouterse will regularly appear on Matthijs van Nieuwkerk’s Talk Show, attend screenings of his films and participate in various festival events.
The 29th Netherlands Film Festival takes place from 23 September through 2 October 2009.
