Sporen van de toekomst werd op nationale en internationale festivals vertoond en uitgezonden door RTV Utrecht. De film kreeg o.a. een eervolle vermelding bij het Venice Intercultural Filmfestival, was een finalist bij het International Film Festival The Hague en bij de Natourale in Duitsland en het Faro Film festival in Venetië, en werd geselecteerd door het Limburg Filmfestival, Festival del Cinema di Cefalu en het Ambacht in Beeld festival.
‘Sporen van de toekomst‘ is een documentaire over de Utrechtse fotograaf Herman van Doorn. Herman fotografeert al bijna 40 jaar en gaf lang les. Hij is nog steeds actief en erg bevlogen. Hij specialiseerde zich in architectuurfotografie, maar richt zich de laatste jaren steeds meer op eigen werk waarin hij zijn idealen laat spreken.
In Venetië documenteert Herman hoe de stad aan het veranderen is. Ambachten en traditionele werkplaatsen verdwijnen en worden overgenomen door industriële producten en internationale winkelketens, die weliswaar goedkoper produceren maar tegen welke kwaliteit? En letterlijk en figuurlijk, tegen welke prijs? Door het enorme aantal toeristen dat de stad overspoelt, wordt onroerend goed in de stad onbetaalbaar voor de echte Venetianen die dan ook de stad verlaten. Ook dat leidt tot de vermindering van de authentieke ambachtslieden: niet alleen de glasblazer of de kantklosster, maar ook de bakker en de slager om de hoek. “Het is vijf voor twaalf!”, aldus Herman.

Door middel van zijn foto’s laat Herman ons afvragen waar we als maatschappij, en individueel, mee bezig zijn. De documentaire speelt zich deels af in Venetië en deels in Utrecht.
Traces of the Future (original Dutch title: Sporen van de Toekomst) was shown at national and international festivals and was broadcast in the Netherlands by RTV Utrecht. Among others, the documentary was awarded an honorary mention at the Venice Intercultural Filmfestival, was a finalist at the International Film Festival The Hague, and was selected by the Limburg Filmfestival (the Netherlands), the Ambacht in Beeld festival (the Netherlands) and the Festival del Cinema di Cefalu (Italy) and the Natourale Nature & Travel film festival (Germany) .
Dutch and Italian versions are also available via Youtube
‘Traces of the Future’ is a documentary about Dutch photographer Herman van Doorn, who has been taking photos for over 40 years now. Herman specialised in architectural photography, but in recent years has concentrated more and more on expressing his own ideals through his photos.
One such undertaking is his work in Venice, where he is documenting traditional trades and workplaces, which are at risk of disappearing. Reasons include mass tourism and cheap ‘replicas’ of the traditional Venetian products.

Through his photos, Herman makes us question what we are busy with as individuals and as a society. The documentary is divided between his time in Venice and his time in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
