Evoluon film

Ernst Leefsma found a rare Laservision disc in his archives with a 12 minute film about the Evoluon, of which is thought that it was made in 1969 by Bert Haanstra or Pim Heytman. We don't know exactly who made it, the information we have is conflicting. Vocals and electronic sound effects take preference over any commentary which isn't really needed as the pictures speak for themselves. The music for the movie was written by Jaap Hofland and vocalized by him, together with his singing group "The Moonliners". The members of this group were Henk de Jong, Jan Beishuys(z)en, Leen Dijkkamp, Jaap Hofland en Trijntje (Tine) Hofland-Hoorn. Letty de Jong also sings in the film.

Here are some stills from the film - you can download the whole film at the bottom of the page.

British TV viewers will probably remember this movie, since the BBC used it for test transmissions. In those transmissions a number of films was broadcast every day in the early seventies so technicians could adjust the new color tv's they installed at customers homes.

*new* We now also have several other films for you to look at, among them an Evoluon commercial from 1981 for download at the bottom of the page. It was found on an old video tape by the classic video and audio recordings collectors of Gouweloos scroll to the bottom of the page for it.
