FILM SCREENING - CLOACINAE BY SERGE ONNEN & SVERRE FREDERIKSEN
Every modern society is based on two invisible, man-made structures: the financial and the sanitary system. Civilisation is in danger if one of the two fails. Cloacina is the Roman goddess of the first modern sewer, the Cloaca Maxima in Rome. This animation about finance and hygiene that features Chinese shadow puppets and a plethora of pre-cinematographic techniques, such as phenakistoscope and zoetrope, follows a coin that has fallen into the sewer. The film was nominated for Tiger Shorts at the International Rotterdam Film Festival of 2017.
Duration: 25 minutes
Screened a couple of times starting from 15.30 h.

Bring money & children!

Premiere documentaire ' Eskalibur' van Reinier Noordzij.

"Eskalibur is a theatre workshop in The Hague where mentally handicapped actors and dancers collaborate in theatre productions. This documentary follows five dancers from rehearsals to the premiere; we see how they work on their latest dance production, and the way they turn their personal struggles into movement and dance. The documentary is about five people whose characters and reputations often seem to merge, in a place where emotions are invariably exposed." Featuring some music by Oorbeek
