ShortCutz | Weekly Session #324

dinsdag 16 april

20:00 – 22:00

Film

Shortcutz Amsterdam is back at the De Kring with the free Weekly Sessionz, the coolest way to interact with the new generation of Dutch filmmakers.

Every session, you can watch short films straight from our Official Selection, followed by a ‘gezellige’ Q&A with the teams. The Sessions are English spoken, and the films are subtitled in English.

After each screening, we interview the team behind the film and get to know more about their process and vision.

The special guest of this evening is the one-and-only director Paula van der Oest, dropping in fresh off her new TV series, “De Joodse Raad.” But that’s not all – she’s the powerhouse director behind the Oscar-nominated “Zus & Zo,” not to mention “Tonio”, “Black Butterflies”, and much more. Don’t miss out as Paula shares the scoop on bringing “De Joodse Raad” to life and gives us a glimpse into her world of storytelling and directing. It’s going to be epic!
