UNICA Medal of Honour
BEN TEENINGA (NDL)
He became a chairman of his film club and a member of committee of
the Dutch national organisation in the eighties. He was an active
film maker.
For over 25 years he has taken care of the film library of NOVA -
the Dutch national organisation of amateur film makers. He has done
this with great dedication and love. Through his knowledge and
experience he gives support to students, tv makers, film clubs,
writers etc. Currently he is taking care of the gradual digitisation
of the stock in the national film library.
Because of his great knowledge of the medium he is frequently asked
to serve as a jury member, though because of his modest nature he is
not keen on acting in the foreground.
He is a regular participant at the UNICA festivals and has many
international contacts from Belgium to Georgia and from Spain to
Germany.
