Banners from the Women's Suffrage Association, Haarlem Division show that things have changed over the past century. But banners of London suffragettes demanding equal pay for men and women make it clear that it is far from enough. The opening night of Walzer, the new VR installation at Eye celebrates women's lives. Dolle Mina's, suffragettes, Aletta Jacobs, nameless women who...

November Music takes place from 5 to 14 November 2021 at various venues in 's-Hertogenbosch, including the Bosch Requiem 2021 composed by Hawar Tawfiq, festival composers Rebecca Saunders and Kaija Saariaho, Brad...
If you get the urge to run your finger through the candle flame for a moment, then a VR installation is already almost successful. Not just because of the technical feat, but also because it convinces as a place to bivouac for half an hour. I am standing at the bar of a seventeenth-century Amsterdam pub. There is murmuring, music, a barman who is...
Met het slothoofdstuk viert het International Film Festival Rotterdam van 2 t/m 6 juni het 50-jarig bestaan. En het feest van de cinema. In ieder geval online. Maar of het publiek ook weer in de zalen het echte festivalgevoel kan beleven is nog lang niet zeker. Openingsfilm is The World to Come.
With journalist Bianca Stigter's book Atlas of an occupied city, you walk through today's reality, as it were, with historical virtual reality glasses on. An extra layer appears over the familiar backdrop of Amsterdam's streets: of World War II occupation. What wartime past is hidden in the streets and behind the facades? Atlas...
Today opens IDFA's The DocLab, perhaps my favourite part of the festival. With its own competition, commissions and exhibition, this is the realm of digital experimentation.
Traveling While Black touches you deeply and that is exactly the intention. The 20-minute or so Virtual reality film immerses you in the history of institutional racism in the US and especially what it does to people. The location is Ben's Chili Bowl in Washington DC*. We sit at a table in a classic diner with people...
Sometimes you see something and only realise on the bike back how special it was. Wait a minute, the white rabbit was talking back? Humpty Dumpty was worried that I did catch it? Not only did I watch a Virtual Reality (VR) installation today, the installation looked back! Never before have I experienced a VR work in which I...
Holland Animation Film Festival and the Amsterdam animation festival Klik! have joined forces. The new festival is called KABOOM.
Virtual Reality neemt een nieuwe vlucht. Op vrijdag 11 oktober om 15:00 uur kun je de wereldpremière meemaken van het ijzingwekkende Walking through the Walls, een totaal onderdompelend werk gemaakt voor de Oculus Go en MEZE AUDIO koptelefoon, samen de meest complete draagbare VR set die er bestaat. Het gebeuren vindt plaats bij Mediamatic in Amsterdam, in samenwerking met Stichting…
Eye Xtended presents extraordinary VR. This time an experiment by the always challenging artist Paul McCarthy. Embedded in a package of films that served as inspiration.
Ietwat misselijk en met wankele benen verlaat ik de corridor waarin ik zojuist Eight van Michel van der Aa heb beleefd. ‘Heb je het circuit gevolgd op die hoge hakken?’, vraagt een medewerker van het Holland Festival ongelovig. Inderdaad had ik mijn pumps beter bij de ingang achtergelaten. Het mixed realityproject Eight beleeft dinsdag 4 juni zijn wereldpremière in Muziekgebouw…
Calm and peace are but a thin layer covering the chaos of war and other violence in the world. In an extensive and richly varied themed programme, Eye shows how filmmakers have captured that in stories.
Some 400 virtual metres we go up with the dancers. Beforehand, we are warned to look straight ahead if we are afraid of heights. For me, this was unnecessary, I loved flying along in the huge circular space, knowing I was safely ensconced in a chair. Choreography, avatars, architecture and Blixa Bargeld. Those are a few...
Eye film museum kicks off its Virtual Reality season with Tsai Ming Liang's The Deserted. Tsai himself was in the country for a masterclass, introductions and interviews. And although his films suggest otherwise, he is a very animated speaker. In his masterclass, he talked about his career, his collaboration with muse and regular actor Lee Kang-Sheng, and his position...
IDFA 2018 is a great opportunity to take a look at what you can do with documentary in film education. Documentaries can resonate very well with children, is the experience of Meike Statema, head of education at IDFA.
Langzaam maar zeker is het allernieuwste nieuwtje van virtual reality (VR) af en kunnen we gaan nadenken over wat je wilt laten zien, in plaats van hoe. Waar ik op het eerste VR festival nog gierende hoofdpijn kreeg van slechte brillen, kan ik me nu laten betoveren door de schoonheid van het Amazone gebied of prachtige animaties. Filmtheaters als Eye…
DocLab 2018 is no longer about the latest technology, but about the human experience. What menu can artists serve us with digital media and artificial intelligence. Examination of reality, playful installations, the Humanoid Cookbook and collaboration with MIT
Voted best VR experience in Venice, Laurie Anderson and Hsin-Chien Huang's Chalkroom can now be experienced at Eye. A flying dream in a beautifully designed labyrinth of worlds constructed out of language and characters. Anderson herself is coming too.
Af en toe schuurt het bij Playful Arts, een intiem festival dat spel en kunst samenbrengt. Alles draait om interactie, zelf doen, ervaren. Sommige bezoekers moeten even een drempel over. Maar dan gebeurt er wel iets. ‘Die dansers moeten echt een keigoeie conditie hebben’, hoor ik iemand achter me vol eerbied mompelen. Aan de overkant van de straat wijst een…
Alejandro González Iñárritu's Oscar-winning virtual reality installation Carne y Arena is coming to the Netherlands. Share the experience of illegal migrants clashing with US border police.
De naam van Sedje Hémon (1923-2011) zal niet bij iedereen onmiddellijk een belletje doen rinkelen. Zij was een van de eerste kunstenaars die multidisciplinair werkte, door composities te baseren op haar eigen schilderijen. Haar schilderij-partituren werden recent getoond tijdens Documenta 14 in Kassel en Athene, maar haar muziek is al bijna 4 decennia niet meer uitgevoerd. Het Haagse Ensemble Modelo62 zet Hémon…
Cinedans has been around since 2003. Back then, it was a single evening, part of Amsterdam's Julidans festival. Pretty soon, it grew into something bigger. According to Martine Dekker, involved with the festival since the 2011 edition, this was due to the overwhelming supply of dance films: 'From the second edition, filmmakers were invited to submit films,...
With a 500-million-year-old pebble, Jonathan Harris began his lecture. IDFA presents the first international retrospective of this artist. As IDFA's chief guest, Harris gave the 'Master Talk' on Friday, about his life and work. His remarkably analogue vision was also the common thread during Sunday's well-attended DocLab conference. Fundamentally analogue Harris, who once started out in computer science...
