            Résumé
            The Dutch film maker Joris Ivens (1898-1989) was one of the founding fathers of documentary film. The career of this eternal traveller spanned over sixty years, from his first film in the twenties to his last, finished at the age of ninety. Among Ivens's friends and collaborators were leading filmmakers and actors like Eisenstein, Pudovkin, Dovzhenko, Chaplin, Milestone, Capra, Losey, Flaherty, Grierson, De Santis, the Taviani brothers, Signoret, Montand and Marker. In his early years Joris Ivens was a prominent figure in the international film avant-garde. From the thirties onwards he became, according to American film historian Robert Sklar, 'the most important political filmmaker of the decade, probably of the century'. His films on Soviet socialism, the Spanish Civil War, the Indonesian struggle for independence, the Vietnam-war and the Cuban and Chinese revolutions, make him a subject of controversy in any debate on the relationship between art and propaganda. Hans Schoots has based his biography on new research of Ivens complete filmwork and of unknown production-documents, personal letters and diaries, found in many archives, such as Ivens's FBI-dossier and State Archives in Moscow and former Eastern-Berlin. Artistic and political milieus in Amsterdam, Berlin, Moscow, New York, Hollywood, Paris, Havana, Hanoi and Beijing provide the background of this fascinating life-story.
             
            De Nederlandse filmmaker Joris Ivens (1898-1989) was één van de grondleggers van documentairefilm. De carrière van deze eeuwige reiziger overspande meer dan zestig jaar, van zijn eerste film in de jaren '20 tot aan zijn laatste, die gereed kwam toen Ivens een leeftijd van negentig had bereikt. Onder Ivens' s vrienden en medewerkers waren filmmakers en acteurs als Eisenstein, Pudovkin, Dovzhenko, Chaplin, Mijlpaal, Capra, Losey, Flaherty, Grierson, DE Santis, de broers Taviani, Signoret, Montand en Marker. In zijn vroege jaren was Joris Ivens een prominent figuur in de internationale filmavant-garde. Vanaf de jaren '30 werd hij, volgens Amerikaanse filmhistoricus Robert Sklar, ' de belangrijkste politieke filmmaker van het decennium, en waarschijnlijk van de eeuw'. Zijn films over Sovjetcollectivisme, de Spaanse Burgeroorlog, de Indonesische strijd voor onafhankelijkheid, de Vietnam-oorlog en de Cubaanse en Chinese revoluties, maken hem controversieel figuur in het debat over de scheiding tussen kunst en propaganda. Hans Schoots heeft deze biografie gebaseerd op het volledige werk van Ivens, waaronder ook onbekende productiedocumenten, persoonlijke brieven en agenda's, zoals gevonden in de vele archieven van de FBI, de Rijksarchieven in Moskou en het vroegere Oost Berlijn. De achtergrond voor dit fascinerende levensverhaal wordt geschetst door de artistieke en politieke milieus in Amsterdam, Berlijn, Moskou, New York, Hollywood, Parijs, Havana, Hanoi en Peking.
