Artist and curator Toon Hezemans has always sought to combine his passions. He discovered the world of caving and rock climbing in the marl quarries of his home region. For years he was the designer of the magazine of the Dutch climbing association. As director of an arts centre, he organised interdisciplinary cultural events combining film, music, sports, and visual arts. He never lost sight of the mountains and, together with his climbing partner Thijs Horbach, they initiated the Dutch Mountain Film Festival. The DMFF could be the conclusion of his search for the perfect combination of sport, nature, and art.
