Sluizer Film Productions
George Sluizer
Sluizer Films was founded by producer, director and screenwriter George Sluizer and producer Anne Lordon. With Spoorloos (The Vanishing, 1988) they received worldwide recognition. The film won many awards and was the Dutch entry for the Academy Awards in 1989. Since Sluizer directed a diverse slate of long features like Joao, Utz, Crimetime, The Commissioner, Dying To Go Home and The Stone Raft. He directed the remake of The Vanishing in the US and Dark Blood, the last film of River Phoenix. George Sluizer died in 2014 at the age of 82. The production company since continued to coordinate the film archive of director George Sluizer and in 2016 we updated the status to produce documentaries and long features who will carry on the vision of the director-producer George Sluizer known for his unique signature.
Next to the two mentioned projects on this site, we are also working on a long feature project still in financing with a talented young Chinese director.

Two fragments in a woman’s life. Maem is a young woman in 1960s rural Thailand. Her clocksmith father imparts his philosophy onto his daughter, while tensions from the military dictatorship and communist rebels are rising. She is courted by two very different young men – a feeble rickshaw driver who is literally pushed aside by an ambitious and ruthless army chief. Fifty years later, the army chief has become a disgraced general. Maem nurses her abusive husband during his last days and looks back at her past filled with loss, suffering and joy. Beyond the nostalgia of Maem’s life, Anatomy of Time is also a tangible interpretation of a generation that is slowly fading. On one level a deeply felt story of a woman, and on another, that of a country’s tragic past and its exploited people.
