Waarover je niet spreken kan - documentaire van Stijn van der Loo (Eng subtitles)

‘On grand and elevated topics one should not remain silent, but speak in a grand and elevated way’. ‘These words by Eckhart have given me the courage to speak, write and paint about the mystical experiences I had for the first time when I was approximately twelve.’

Thus begins a striking movie about contemporary mystic Iris van Haaren. Producer Stijn van der Loo combined Iris’ experiences with interpretations by a.o. Prof.dr. Roelof van den Broek, professor emeritus of the history of Christianity; Pim van Lommel, cardiologist, researcher of near-death experiences and writer; Peter Delahay (ƚ), economist, astrologist and inspirator; and Huub Oosterhuis, poet, theologist and philosopher.

In this one-hour movie, Iris van Haaren expresses in words what is hard to express in words. This way, she hopes to explain this phenomenon to a wider audience and to unlock the isolation of others with similar experiences. The result is an encouraging balance between words and sounds, between invisible and clear. ‘So that it can be of support to every human’.
