Vest is a collection of 16 video clips made by NITS between 1984 and 1995. After the recording of the album In The Dutch Mountains we bought a 16 mm camera and started filming in and around Amsterdam. The whole NITS team was involved in this low-budget adventure; some times in front, sometimes behind the camera. To be honest, we did not do it to advertise or to sell but simply because we like making short films.

Enjoy watching In The Dutch Mountains, J.O.S. Days, Soap Bubble Box, The Train, Adieu Sweet Bahnhof, dA dA dA and many more.
