Interview met Adrian Borland, vlak voor zijn optreden in het voorprogramma van Midnight Oil op 8 juli 1985.

World Premiere: “Walking in the Opposite Direction” a documentary about Adrian Borland and the Sound.


“Moving, affecting, painful, beautiful, honest and truthful. This is a wonderful film. The tragedy of Adrian’s battle with himself and his disease balanced with his joy and love of life and his creativity. It’s irrelevant whether you know of Adrian or The Sound or not.


This is the universal story of the razor’s edge that so many artists walk between heaven and hell”. (Quote Wally Brill)

Thank you so much for all your belief in us........we said we would do it.......and we did it. As well for Marc as a Film maker and Jean-Paul as producer it’s our debut om making a feature length film.......as you all know Marc Waltman and me are since Summer 2013 been busy with achieving of each our childhood dream. After the Crowdfunding we decided to give it a go.
For Marc was realising to make a Feature Film which would be selectied by the DFA a dream come true, for me it was after seeing the film “Searching for Sugarman” my main goal as fan to make film on my musical hero Adrian Borland and before i really realised I was a ‘self-appointed film producer’ !
So it's been a long process, but an unforgettable adventure, and the Film is selected for the 2016 International Documentary Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), and we left hundreds of other filmmakers behind us.
At this moment we are busy with the last things, refining subtitles, making a poster, etc etc
After the premiere there will be a big thank you for a number of people and then will start a by us ourself initiated small concert by the original ‘Citizens'.
So......what’s next:

If you want to be with us with the premiere you can buy a ticket for this via the IDFA site: Ticketinfo | IDFA
and you have to create an MYIDFA account via: MyIDFA | IDFA
In the week after the premiere the Film wiil be shown in more venues on different dates.
After our selection for the IDFA we also submitted our Film to Sundance, SXSW, Berlin Independent Filmfestivals. If we will be selected by one of them we will let you know also asap, just like the possibilities for later on next year.....TV and DVD/Blu-ray.
Kindest Regards and thank you so much for your belief in us......
Jean-Paul and Marc

The Opposite Direction Foundation and Sounds Haarlem Like Vinyl proudly present a 'new' album by the legendary British post-punk band The Sound. The double album Will And Testament contains live and demo recordings from the later period of the band that was active from London during most of the 1980s. The live recordings - including private recordings of a concert in Amsterdam's Paradiso in December 1987 and considered by the band members themselves to be one of their best and most intense performances – differ completely from the only official live album In The Hothouse (1985) and even contain two unknown songs. The demo recordings consist of four unreleased songs, released as bonus cd 'Starlight' and as side 4 'Starlight' on the vinyl album. Will And Testament was compiled by The Sound drummer Mike Dudley who also wrote the liner notes and supervised the superior mastering of the recordings that sometimes needed a quite some polishing. After The Sound's most famous album From The Lions Mouth (1981), the double LP and CD again received a painting by Briton Rivière on the cover.

Die gaat in het mandje!

Zit inmiddels in het mandje. Pre-order geplaatst. Vinyl uiteraard, vanwege het artwork. Ik hoop op gatefold. De nieuwe Borland (2 meter sessies) ook besteld.
