A film festival is incomplete without several great parties where you can meet nice people, enjoy exotic food and drinks and last but not least dance to the DJs’ music. This year’s edition of World Cinema Amsterdam features three such parties.
Saturday 10 August | starting 6 PM
Jamaican Party: Yard Vibes
Caribbean Creativity Foundation will transform Rialto into a real reggae dancehall Jamaican style. From 6 PM onwards Planet Rose’s soul food awaits you. After having fortified yourself, it’s time to party. Dance the night away to the music of five DJs: Boston Strip Sound System, Wazari Sound, Drunken Lion Sound System, Radical Hi-Fi and DJ Rowstone!
Friday 16 August | starting 11 PM
Caribbean Party: Dance Curaçao, Dance
Today’s theme was the abolition of slavery 150 years ago. An excellent reason to go and see the wonderful films from Curacao. And after that it's time to throw a big party! Till 3 AM you can celebrate the final breaking of the chains dancing to DJ Edsel8’s catchy Caribbean sounds and the exhilarating tambú musis of Grupo ReVolushon.
Saturday 17 August | starting 11 PM
Closing Party: Latin Lounge
There’s more to come after Friday night’s fun: Saturday night Rialto welcomes you for a roaring closing evening, with party and all. What's on the menu: first of all you can see this gem from Chile – GLORIA. After that the tension really mounts as the winner of the WCA-Jury Award is announced. One happy director receives € 5000. And then.... relax in the mellow, sultry mood set by the Latin sounds of Chilean DJ Mauri. Until 3 PM ...!
