Antenna gives a snapshot of the 1970s. The film is a typical work by Ditvoorst: freedom of the individual, the desire for a utopia that does not come true, the lonely and misunderstood artist, the aversion to the state, bureaucracy and religious authorities, absurd side characters etc. The film has little dialogue and is largely told through the images of cameraman Jan de Bon

A conscript is given leave to visit his wife who has been admitted to hospital after a road accident. Dutch student film in the vein of the French Nouvelle Vague, praised at the time by directors like Godard and Bertolucci.

Afraid that man will in time become a threat to the inhabitants of heaven, governor angel Lucifer leads a rebellion against God. Registration of Joost van den Vondel's classic stage play, performed by the Publiekstheater.

A journalist has to interview a blind photographer.

The toxic, suffocating relationship between a dominant mother and her estranged son, Lazlo. Lazlo lives a reclusive life in a squat, spending his time painting taxidermied animals and using heroin. When his mother is involved in a serious accident and calls for him, he is forced to confront the world he tried to leave behind, leading to a grim collision between her delusions of control and his self-destructive addiction.

Although it was actually an impersonal commissioned film, the director's style is clearly recognizable. Once again he manages to make something that is normal very strange: the dancing people in costumes are filmed in such a way that they look bizarre and absurd. Jan de Bont's camerawork shows a series of color images of dancing people, edited to the rhythm of the music. Halfway through the film, a lonely clown can be seen among the dancing crowd, accompanied by sad music. This clown is played by Ditvoorst himself.

A man is under the illusion he is a wanted war criminal.
