Just like every year, World Cinema Amsterdam 2021 will also take place at Rialto De Pijp and De Balie. But there is more! The program can also be seen for the first time this year at Rialto VU, a brand new theater on the VU campus at De Boelelaan 1111.
In addition, special pop-up performances take place in various places: OSCAM, LantarenVenster en de Bijlmerbios.
Pop-up screenings
WCA x OSCAM
On Friday 20 August you can enjoy the beautiful film Ghana for You in the presence of director Adams Mensah at OSCAM, the Open Space Contemporary Art Museum. Before this film, the short film Zombies by filmmaker Baloji can be seen. He will also be present this evening for a live Q&A. Click here for more information and tickets.
WCA x LantarenVenster
The Rotterdam film and music theater LantarenVenster has maintained warm relationships for years. So it was logical to organize a number of WCA films in this beautiful theater on the Wilhelminapier again this year. On Sunday 22 August there will be two WCA films, two films from the Actual Africa programme. Click here for more information and tickets.
WCA x Bijlmerbios
On Sunday, 5 September, the Bijlmerbios open-air cinema will be showing one of the films from the Actual Africa programme: the romantic comedy Aloe Vera by Ghanaian director Peter Sedufia. A love story under the stars! Can it get any better?
