The first monograph of the work of one of the Netherlands' most prolific filmmakers spanning sixty years of cultural history ranging from the second world war to the rebellious sixties and eighties, from Dutch water management to modern architecture, and from Europe to global consciousness. This book presents a journey in the rich audio-visual and artistic sources of the world of a filmmaker who over the last sixty years, and long before we all had a mobile camera in our pockets, always had his camera on standby. 'Filming for the Future' proposes the most salient features of a wide-ranging and vital oeuvre that becomes more amazing and important as time goes by. Van Gasteren's work is an invaluable source of historical documentation and visionary cultural analysis made by a venturous "participating observer" of the twentieth century that is worthwhile (re)discovering in and for the twenty-first century.
