2019 The Netherlands - Dutch / English

The documentary “KNUST, the pioneers of Riso print” tells the story of a post-fluxus art collective “Knust” founded in the 80’s during the large-scale squatter revolt in Nijmegen.

Since then the Knust artists have had an international fame thanks to the authenticity of their colorful printed issues made with the Riso technique.

In this film we also follow the English illustrator, Charlotte Ager, during her residency at Extrapool, the headquarter of Knust. Alongside with her, we witness the making of a Riso printed art book and the incredible charm of this crafty technique.
