Thursday 22 August, 19:00 - 21:15 | Rialto
In collaboration with Het Filmgesprek, we will host an in-depth film discussion following the screening of the poignant Indonesian film 27 Steps of May on 22 August at 7 pm.
The poetic film tells the story of May, a young girl who stops talking after a horrible, traumatic incident. She withdraws from the world, clinging to rituals and her work at home with her father. When she discovers a crack in the wall her perspective slowly starts to change.
After the screening, philosopher and writer Marjan Slob will engage in a conversation with you and the other viewers. Slob is a columnist for De Volkskrant and has given various lectures on film and philosophy, including at the Netherlands Film and Television Academy. During the conversation we will address questions such as: How has the film moved you and why is that so? Which deeper layers did others see and how does this enrich our experience of the film? Why do people take refuge in rituals?
