In 1994, Moufida's Les Silences du Palais was...

During the Holland Festival, theatre company La Fura dels Baus lets us experience the city of the future with the interactive performance M.U.R.S.

Met zoveel robots en zelfs een masterclass robotontwerp (Mark Setrakian, 16 april) op het Imagine Festival kan het geen kwaad weer even in de ‘uncanny valley‘ te duiken. Hoe zat dat ook al weer? Een robot hoeft volstrekt niet op een mens te lijken om toch schattig te zijn en echte emoties op te roepen. Zie bijvoorbeeld Pixar’s vuilnisrobot Wall-E. En…

He began his musical career with jazz greats Count Basie and Duke Ellington, who soon recognised his extraordinary talent.

De kritische commotie die er is ontstaan rondom de verfilming van het boek Vijftig tinten grijs van E.L. James lijkt zich vooral te richten op de brave tamheid van het eindproduct. Iets dat in contrast staat met de vermeende gewaagdheid van het boek, waar een maagdelijke jonge vrouw zich seksueel laat inwijden door een rijke SM-yup. Filmcriticus Antony Lane somde…
We write day 6 of the IFFR and take an intermediate view. In the deluge of films, the short films (1 to 60 minutes) always fall away a little in attention. This is a shame, because there is a lot to discover within this format. We list for you. 1 - The IFFR is the festival with one of the...
