The dizzyingly eclectic work of Dutch filmmaker Johan van der Keuken is fueled by a voracious curiosity about the world that is matched only by its formal ingenuity. His all-encompassing yet highly personal pieces marked him as one of the best experimental filmmakers to emerge from Holland; and though his life was cut tragically short by cancer in 2001, he left behind a wealth of material that continues to offer fresh insights into our world. This fourth part of the COMPLETE COLLECTION series highlights van der Keuken's middle period, and includes THE STORM OF IMAGES, TIME, THE PALESTINIANS, THE FLAT JUNGLE, THE MASTER AND THE GIANT, THE READING LESSON, THE WAY SOUTH, and THE FILMMAKER'S HOLIDAY.

His films stretch the boundaries of both documentary and narrative fiction, resulting in a uniquely personal style that is as daring as it is compassionate. Volume 4 spotlights work from the filmmaker's mid-career.
