Expat Cinema: Meet-up | Rialto VU Amsterdam

At Expat Cinema: Meet up we screen recent foreign language films with English subtitles. Afterwards we get together to chat and network over a drink.

📍 Location: film theatre Rialto VU.

🎥 Screening: IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT, this year's winner of the Palme d'Or, Cannes on Sunday November 9th at 17:15.

🎬 IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT: A man and his family are driving by car in the evening when they hit a stray dog. The animal is dead and the car is damaged. The man takes the car to Vahid's garage. Vahid is horrified, because from the way the man walks, he has an artificial leg, he thinks he recognises Eghbal, a hideous man who severely tortured him when he was in prison. Vahid wants to kill him, but the man vehemently denies being the torturer. Vahid contacts former fellow prisoners to ultimately decide together what should happen to the alleged Eghbal. This proves to be far from easy.

🎥 Screening: DRØMMER, the final part of Dag Johan Haugerud's Oslo Trilogy, on Wednesday November 19th at 18:30.

🎬 DRØMMER: Seventeen-year-old secondary school pupil Johanne from Oslo finds her life rather dull. But then a new French teacher arrives at school: Johanna, a vivacious and attractive woman. Johanne is immediately smitten and falls head over heels in love with her. She doesn't know what to do with these intense feelings and decides to visit the object of her affection at home. There she receives a warm welcome. She writes down everything she experiences and feels and lets her grandmother, the poet Karin, read it. Karin is shocked by what she reads, but at the same time impressed by her granddaughter's writing talent. She also involves Johanne's single mother Kristin in the events. Should it become a book or is it a case of sexual abuse?
