World Cinema Amsterdam features many splendid films; just check out our competition programme, our special programmes with a focus on Uruguay and Kazakhstan, and our films in the open-air screenings. But there are many more films at the festival that deserve your attention. We have brought some of these together in our Special Screenings.
This year, the Special Screenings are grouped under two headings: World Cinema Premieres and World Cinema Specials.
The World Cinema Premieres are ARAF, BETHLEHEM, CLUB SANDWICH and MANUSCRIPTS DON’T BURN. Four films from four different countries, all of which will be released in Dutch cinemas this fall. These films will have their Dutch premieres during the festival.
The World Cinema Specials are I AM FROM CHILE, PAYDAY, QUITTE LE POUVOIR, RADICAL FRIENDS, SEPIDEH - REACHING FOR THE STARS and two shorts from Trinidad and Tobago. Films that demonstrate world cinema’s diversity, offer an insight into other cultures and tell universal stories.
Directors Diego Ruiz, Fernando Eimbcke, Yes?im Ustaog?lu, Chihiro Geuzebroek & Aida Grovestins will be present during the festival.
