Marieke, Marieke — photos, film stills & behind-the-scenes

This page is a curated photo space for Marieke, Marieke (2010): selected film stills, character images, and behind-the-scenes photography. The goal is simple: give editors, programmers, and viewers a clean set of visuals that represents the film’s tone-intimate, realistic, and Brussels-grounded-without turning the page into a chaotic dump of files.

What these photos represent

Film stills are not random screenshots. A production still is typically photographed on set (or staged during production) to communicate the film’s mood, characters, and key environments in a way that reads clearly in a catalogue, an article header, or a festival brochure. A good still does three jobs at once: it shows a face, suggests a relationship, and gives you a sense of space. That matters for Marieke, Marieke, because the film is built on closeness: small gestures, small rooms, and tension that lives in silence.

Behind-the-scenes images (BTS) do a different job. They are not “pretty pictures” first; they are context. BTS photos are used in interviews, production features, and festival spotlights because they show craft: how a scene is built, how a crew works, and why a film’s realism feels earned.

Selected film stills

Below is a suggested structure for a compact, press-friendly selection. Keep the set tight: 8–15 stills is enough for most editorial use. Choose images that feature the main cast and at least one recognisable environment (workplace, home interior, night street). If you publish 40+ images, editors stop scrolling and your page becomes noise.

Still 01 - Marieke in close-up. Intimate framing that matches the film’s restrained tone.

Still 02 - The chocolate factory. Routine and repetition as structure.

Still 03 - Jacoby. The outsider whose presence puts pressure on the family’s silence.

Still 04 - Jeanne. Control and distance inside the home.

Still 05 - Brussels at night. The city as mood, not postcard.

Behind-the-scenes

BTS images work best when they show process: camera setup, light shaping, crew positioning, and the director working with actors. Avoid posting dozens of near-identical “standing around” shots. Pick a small number that actually explains the film’s craft.

BTS 01 - Scene setup. A practical location, minimal spectacle, maximum realism.

BTS 02 - Camera and light. The look is grounded, built for closeness.

How to use these images

These visuals are typically used in editorial contexts: film articles, festival catalogues, programme notes, reviews, and informational pages about the film. If you are publishing images in a public-facing context, keep captions factual and avoid misleading text that suggests scenes or relationships that are not in the film.

If your publication requires a credit line, keep it short and consistent. Example formats:

• Photo: Marieke, Marieke (2010)
• Courtesy: Marieke, Marieke
• Credit: Film still / production still (where applicable)

If you need high-resolution stills for print, request a dedicated press package and specify your use case (article, catalogue, festival brochure, poster thumbnail). Include your deadline and preferred format (JPG/PNG, minimum pixel width).

Editorial note for site owners

Keep this gallery clean. Add images in batches, maintain consistent filenames, and write useful alt text. Alt text should describe what is visible (who, where, what mood) in plain language. That helps accessibility and also improves how images are indexed and understood.

Recommended folder rules: use one folder for stills and one for BTS, keep numbers in filenames (still-01, still-02), and avoid spaces in names. This prevents broken images and makes the page maintainable.
