Dutch Film Special (3): Beauty film, eh! Dutch in Toronto
How is Dutch film doing beyond its borders? Just before the Dutch Film Festival breaks loose, its big international brother in Toronto (TIFF) kicked off. Red carpets, big stars and ditto premieres.

Boudewijn Koole krijgt Europese filmprijs voor Kauwboy
Mooi natuurlijk dat Amour van Michael Haneke gisteravond op Malta bij de uitreiking van de European Film Awards niet alleen bekroond werd als beste film, maar ook de regieprijs en prijzen voor beste acteur en actrice kreeg toegeschoven. Maar een beetje saai begint die lofzang op Haneke’s nieuwste wel te worden. Genoeg dus hierover.
NFF 2012 - Jos Stellings The Girl and Death enchants Golden Calf jury

The Film Academy can be satisfied.

NFF – ‘De regels van Matthijs’ verplichte lesstof voor hulpverleners
De oogst aan lange documentaires die op het Nederlands Film Festival worden vertoond, is goed. Het zijn bijzondere verhalen, soms opzienbarend, soms indringend, soms voer voor veel discussie, en vrijwel allemaal heel mooi gefilmd. We wensen de jury veel wijsheid toe. De genomineerde documentaire ‘De regels van Matthijs’ is voor iedereen interessant, maar zou verplichte kost moeten zijn voor hulpverleners,…
NFF 2012 – Robert Oey maakt opnieuw indruk met Gesneuveld
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.

NFF 2012: première van George Sluizers onvoltooid-voltooide Dark Blood
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…
#NFF Opening film Nono sings away from dull realism
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.
