SENUWEN
ENG: Nerves
SENUWEN, 2023, documentary. Dutch Subtitles.
Still available on the website of Omrop Fryslân, together with two other films that were created for Nije Eagen.
In the Frisian documentary SENUWEN I follow young gymnast Iris. She competed in the Frisian Championships in Dokkum, where the event beam often gets gymnasts very nervous.
But what makes the beam such a nerve-wracking event? I wondered why we are nervous and what happens to us when he have to perform. And these nerves good for something?
