    Portrait of Dora Dolz

    Sonia Herman Dolz 2006 Holland Documentary color 68min Digi-Beta
    This film portrait of the Spanish visual artist Dora Dolz, viewed through the eyes of her daughter, the filmmaker Sonia Herman Dolz, illustrates the possibilities one has to take control of one's own life and destiny. Over a span of thirty years, Dora Dolz' many-sided, trend-setting artwork and monumental ceramics have put an indelible stamp on the Dutch and the international art scene. Presently, she is at the apex of her creative life. The film's purpose is not to mystify that life, but to show it as an example of how one can have a "light" approach to the weight of reality. This sparkling film lifts a tip of the veil of the bountiful art and soul of Dora Dolz.
