Life
Huguenot van der Linden started working in Paramount's public relations department in 1928 . He later worked at Paramount in Paris. There he translated American films into French. After an apprenticeship as an assistant director , he made his first film in 1936 with Paramount colleague Heinz Josephson: Jonge harsh . This was not a box office success and because of the self-financing he lost the money he had invested. However, the film received good reviews, which also made its name better known and memorable.
During the Second World War , van der Linden worked as an assistant director on the German film Rembrandt, shot by Hans Steinhoff in Amsterdam . From 1956 he was a member of the film department of the Dutch advisory board Raad van de Kunst and was also active in the Nederlandse Beroepsvereniging van Filmers (NBF).
Huguenot van der Linden produced films for 50 years, mostly together with his wife Martina Huguenot van der Linden : feature films, documentaries, advertising and information films. He has received numerous awards, including an Oscar in the “Best Documentary Short Film” category for the film Deze kleine wereld .
