Biography
George Sluizer (1932, Paris) studied at the Paris film academy and subsequently gained experience as an assistant director. His short film De Lage Landen won the Silver Bear in 1961. Having previously made numerous TV documentaries, in 1972 he turned to fictional filmmaking, presenting his debut drama João en het mes in competition at the Berlinale in the same year. His most notable works includes Spoorloos (1988), it's Hollywood remake The Vanishing (1993) and Utz (1992). When Dark Blood's leading actor River Phoenix died suddenly ten days before the end of the shoot in 1993, the film's insurance company became the owner of the unfinished material. Years later, director George Sluizer managed to save his footage from being destroyed. In January 2012 he decided to finish the film by reading aloud off-screen the missing scenes from the screenplay.
