Transit Levantkade is a 1991 Dutch documentary film about the Amsterdam Levantkade area in the late 1980s. The film is directed, written, and produced by Rosemarie Blank. It won the prize for best artistic documentary at the Créteil International Women's Film Festival in 1992.[1]
Synopsis
A documentary portrait of the Levantkade area in Amsterdam and the urban nomads who sought refuge in this no man’s land in the late eighties, which has now been cleared. The film tells the story of the Levantkade, a quay in Amsterdam's Eastern Docklands. In the twenties, Levantkade was a gateway for Eastern European emigrants on their way to South America. In the eighties, Levantkade became a haven for social drop-outs, foreigners and homeless people who lived there until the police came to clear the area for wreckers. The film shows these individuals in documentary form, interspersed with archive material dating from 1926 about immigrants.[2]
