Atmosphere WVV documentary. 

 

Wittevrouwenveld (sometimes abbreviated WVV), was originally part of the Wittevrouwen convent. It served at the time as a refuge for papally approved penitent sisters. Wittevrouwenveld is currently a residential neighbourhood within the Dutch city of Maastricht.

From around 150 years ago onwards Wittevrouwenveld used to be known as a typical working-class neighbourhood.

Due to the completion of the Koning Willem-Alexander tunnel and the associated projects above ground, the neighbourhood is undergoing major transformations.

 

This short documentary offers a critical reflection on these ongoing transformations, capturing details of the neighborhood's daily life. Through carefully framed scenes that deliberately exclude people, the film hints at the impact of urban development on the community's atmosphere and identity.
