How the opening of our tenth edition was Thursday? In one word: successful! After a warm welcome from Paul Rigter and our director / curator Raymond Walravens, two full halls watched this year's opening film, Temblores. Director Jayro Bustamante was present and held a Q&A after the screening. Followed by a festive drink with delicious snacks from Ron Gastrobar Indonesia!
This year programme:
Apart from nine international competition films, the festival will include Cinema Indonesia, focussing on independent Indonesian Cinema, and World Cinema Amsterdam Presents, a completely new feature this year with films by Dutch makers who have roots in Africa, Asia, Latin America or the Caribbean. As a first, this year's festival will also showcase several family films.
