Kick off The Nederlands Film Festival 2019 in Utrecht
|
If it’s cinema and late September, then it must be Utrecht – the Dutch capital for film. The Nederlands Film Festival is the most important cinematic event within the Dutch calendar, when the country’s film-loving public can delight in the very best of contemporary Dutch cinema. Over the years the great and the good of Dutch creative talent, such as Paul Verhoeven (Elle, Blackbook), Paula van der Oest (Black Butterflies, Lucia de B), Martin Koolhoven (Brimstone), Nanouk Leopold (Cobain, Brownian Movement) and countless others, have used NFF to launch their films to great acclaim both internationally and at home. The programme this year is equally diverse and dynamic and kicks off with Halina Reijn’s eagerly anticipated feature debut Instinct, starring the internationally-acclaimed Carice van Houten (Game of Thrones) and Marwan Kenzari (Aladdin), all of whom will be attending the Dutch premiere in Utrecht. The film world-premiered in Locarno, where it won the Variety Piazza Grande Award, before later selections for Toronto and London. The Nederlands Film Festival is also home to the Golden Calves, the most prestigious awards in Dutch cinema, twenty-one of which will be handed out on October 4 2019. See the nominated productions |
