Moving image. To be seen on TV, in a museum, in a cinema. On an iphone.
Al meer dan tien jaar tobt het Alkmaarse filmtheater en podium Provadja – een van de oudste Nederlandse filmhuizen – met een veel te krappe behuizing. Al meer dan tien jaar zijn er plannen gemaakt en gisteravond stemde de gemeenteraad over de herhuisvesting. En koos daarmee voor een optie die bestuur, medewerkers en vrijwilligers van Provadja al categorisch hadden afgewezen. Namelijk
Is it because of the ice age? Is it a question of money or guts? Last night, the Amsterdam cinema Het Ketelhuis hosted the so-called Spring Consultation for the tenth time.
Would Gilles Jacob, the director of the Cannes Film Festival, see it as a godsend or a knee-jerk reaction to American studios? That Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby Wednesday's opening film certainly means spectacle and a lot of attention. But it is not a world premiere,
A major frustration of the Dutch film world has come to an end. After 38 years, we again have a film in the main competition at Cannes. The new film by
Het symposium over gestoorde vrouwen in horrorfilms dat deze zondagmiddag tijdens het Imagine Festival werd gehouden was eigenlijk wel een geruststellende bijeenkomst. Je hoeft zelf niet gestoord te zijn om een fascinatie voor horror te hebben. Dat mocht je in ieder geval afleiden uit
Yesterday, the long-awaited Film Summit was held. At this private meeting, ministers Bussemaker (OCW) and Kamp (Economic Affairs) met a large number of representatives of the film sector. The consultations covered
It will take some getting used to he clicking 'external review' on the Internet Movie Database no longer to come across Roger Ebert's name. This legendary critic
That almost all major US family films and many action films are in 3D is by now self-evident. But contrary to predictions
Het grote verhaal van de Oscars 2013 is natuurlijk hoe de underdog Argo uiteindelijk de aanvankelijk gedoodverfde favoriet Lincoln voorbijstreefde. Toen zondagavond Ben Affleck het beeldje voor beste film in ontvangst nam deed hij dat niet als regisseur maar als producent. Hij was zelfs niet eens genomineerd voor de Oscar voor beste regie, en dat komt bij een film die…
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the 2012 cinema year was that two completely different films were the biggest crowd-pleasers. First, the new James Bond Skyfall, of course, with almost 2 million visits. But that the number two (1.2 million) is a
Fifteen years after Peter Delpeuts Felice, Felice the International Film Festival Rotterdam gets another Dutch opening. The 42nd edition of this leading event will kick off on 23 January with the world premiere of The resurrection of an asshole by Guido van Driel, festival director Rutger Wolfson announced this afternoon.
Nice of course that Amour by Michael Haneke was not only crowned best film at the European Film Awards ceremony in Malta last night, but also received the director's prize and prizes for best actor and actress. But a bit boring is starting to become this paean to Haneke's latest. Enough of this, then.
Two opposites had emerged. Would the VPRO IDFA Award for best feature-length documentary go to a personally coloured auteur's film, or to a thoughtful account of a major issue? To Alan Berliner's remarkable portrait of Alzheimer's-affected poet Edwin Honig, or to Dror Moreh's fascinating insight into the Israeli secret service?
In John Appel's new documentary Wrong Time Wrong Place features survivors of the shooting on the Norwegian island of Utoya and the preceding bombing, which killed 77 people.
It is rare for the same film to receive both jury and (children's) audience awards at the Cinekid festival. But about the subtle and sparkling French animated film Ernest et Célestine everyone agreed this time. This story based on picture books by Belgian illustrator Gabrielle Vincent, who died in 2000, won a double award, making it this year's big winner. Ernest and Célestine are a bear and a mouse who have to face the fact that their friendship is poorly understood in the bear and mouse world.
The feature-length French animated film is on the rise. To emphasise this, Michel Ocelot, one of the pacesetters, has been invited as guest of honour by the Cinekid children's film festival. Tonight, he was also presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award, which he accepted with a modest protest. As an animation filmmaker, Michel Ocelot (1943) considers himself still an adolescent with much to discover.
The big question was how many of those seven Golden Calf nominations Plan C would manage to cash in. To everyone's surprise, this petty crime comedy that attracted less than 7,000 visitors in cinemas had garnered even more nominations than
The Film Academy can be satisfied. The two juries that handed out the three student awards at the Netherlands Film Festival on Monday night had also looked at graduation work from other Dutch academies with a film section. But in the end, all the lucky ones were students from the Netherlands Film and Television Academy, as the Amsterdam programme is called in full. Magnesium again. The Tuschinski Award for best graduation film, this...
Iedere avond vindt er op het Nederlands Film Festival een belangrijke première plaats, en zondag was dat de nieuwe documentaire van Robert Oey, over boodschappers en nabestaanden. Gesneuveld laat een kant van onze militaire missie in Afghanistan zien die weinig in beeld kwam. 25 Nederlandse militairen zijn daar gesneuveld. De film is in zekere zin een eerbetoon aan hen, maar…
Misschien waren de verwachtingen bij de première van George Sluizers negentien jaar geleden opgenomen, en nu alsnog voltooide Dark Blood gewoon te hoog gespannen. Want natuurlijk is het geheel terecht dat het Nederlands Film Festival de gelegenheid heeft aangegrepen voor een mooi retrospectief van Sluizer, een van Nederlands’ meest vooraanstaande filmmakers met de wereld als werkterrein. Maker van de bloedstollende…
What a festive opening film it was! The Dutch Film Festival's choice of Nono, the zigzag child had of course to do with the fact that Dutch family films will be specially put in the festival spotlight this year. But even apart from that theme, it was an unmissable kick-off. After all, we may like to grumble that the weather is not...
It is now official. Magnesium, with which Sam de Jong graduated as director from the Film Academy, was already praised in several publications earlier this year. So it did not come as a complete surprise that yesterday afternoon, during the drinks on the roof terrace of the Film Academy, the Kring van Nederlandse Filmjournalisten announced that Magnesium declared itself winner of the KNF Prize for best...
Naarmate internet voor veel mensen steeds meer synoniem wordt met grote bedrijven als Facebook, begint het oude ideaal van een open en vrij wereldnet steeds meer te vervagen.
Next year, the Netherlands Film Festival will have to face extensive budget cuts. Therefore, let's enjoy this year extra, was the recommendation with which festival director Willemien van Aalst closed the press conference presenting the programme of the 32nd Netherlands Film Festival this afternoon. Precisely in this time of economic headwind, the festival has chosen this year's The Promise
EYE is pulling out all the stops. This year, the final exam papers of the students of the Netherlands Film and Television Academy will get an ideal presentation in the largest auditorium of this new film centre. What is also new is that yesterday, immediately after the screening for press and relations, awards were handed out for best commercial (The End, Soon), best documentary (A Twist in...
