Pim de la Parra


Pim de la Parra is a Surinamese-Dutch film director.
Between 1967 and 1976, he directed films under the independent production company Scorpio Films with Dutch film director Wim Verstappen, who manages all of its achievements.
After a few short films, he began his career as an international director with Obsessions, co-written by Martin Scorsese.
He co-produced Blue Movie by Wim Verstappen, which was one of the most erotic movies of its time, showing nudity with a realism that confounded critics and censorship authorities. It was followed by Frank en Eva, Alicia, Dakota and Mijn Nachten met Susan, Olga, Albert, Julie, Piet & Sandra, these four films forming an erotic tetralogy written with Charles Gormley. In 1976, he directed Wan Pipel, the first film shot entirely with actors from Suriname.
