Amsterdam Film Show

AFS S8E7 | University of Amsterdam film student Jons Klaessens, joined us on the welcome back edition of the Amsterdam Film Show after a long shot down due to the coronavirus. Again. Jons shared three film picks screening in Amsterdam cinemas during June 2021: Wolfwalkers, Judas and the Black Messiah, and American Utopia. Co-host Cathy also shared a few updates from the Dutch cinema industry and chatted with Jons about the film on the top of her big screen watch list: Nomadland (he's already streamed it). Also screening during this period, the war film, De Slag Om De Schelde (aka The Forgotten Battle), which is a relatively big budget Dutch film you can see locally with English subtitles.
