LETTER ABOUT RALPH N.J. FOUNDATION
from Victor and Susan Jongeneel
Ralph Nicolas Jongeneel or "Ralph N.J", as he preferred to be known to his fellow filmmakers, was born in Switzerland in 1986. A dual citizen of the Netherlands and the USA, he also considered himself Swiss. He had a lively curiosity about the world and, by the time he was in his teens, he spoke 5 languages and had traveled to 29 countries.
From an early age, Ralph was fascinated by film. He would watch his favourite videos over and over until he knew them by heart. Every video that we rented had to be copied so that he could study it at leisure.
As he got older, he began to study films more seriously, building up his collection (he owned over 500 films) and going to various sources online and offline to improve his understanding of the subtleties of the discipline. He appropriated the family video camera and began to make films on his own.
He particularly liked underwater filming. After getting his scuba diving license at the age of 12, he would never leave for a holiday in warm destinations without his video camera and underwater housing. He made a number of films, included one called The Atomic Atoll, which he filmed in the Bikini Atoll. He had this posted on the Student Films site, having become an enthusiastic member of this filmmaker community.

Ralph first came to Prague Film School for the summer program in 2004, and again in 2005. He spent the happiest moments of his life studying cinema there and enjoying the companionship of like-minded film enthusiasts. He made two films there that became part of the dossier that he submitted to the ESEC film school in Paris. Ralph was accepted at ESEC and returned from a visit to the school, full of enthusiasm, two weeks before he was killed in a tragic accident in the Italian Swiss mountains. He had just turned 20.
After his death, we asked the many people who wished to do something in his memory to make a contribution to a fund to support young filmmakers. Thus, the Ralph N.J. Foundation was born. Its purpose is to help young people (aged 25 and under) who have demonstrated an interest in making a career in filmmaking to study at Prague Film School. We see this as a way to keep Ralph's memory alive while at the same time providing support to people whom Ralph would have liked to know.
