As Slow As Possible: Contemplative Cinema of the 21st Century
Favs/dislikes: 40:1. The list is based on personal toplists of film enthusiasts from the Netherlands. It is intended as a source of inspiration for viewers who long for a cinema that provides them another view on the world from around the world. The films have a particular style, distinctly different from Hollywood, which mainly consists of: plotlessness, wordlessnes, slowness and openess (for interpretation). In the films the surroundings, which can be both rural or urban, are as important a subject as are the protagonists. -

Venice Days
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. Giornate degli Autori were born in 2004, as an independent event on the fringes of the Venice Film Festival, modeled on the prestigious ‘Directors' Fortnight' of the Cannes Festival and promoted by the associations of Italian film directors and authors (Anac and 100autori). The aim of the event is to draw attention to high quality cinema, without any kind of restriction, with special care for innovation, research, originality and independence. These are all features of the 12 films selected as well as being reflected in the special events held during the Days in the Villa degli Autori. -
Tiger Awards Competition
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. The International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) is an annual film festival held in various cinemas in Rotterdam, The Netherlands at the end of January. Since its founding in 1972, it has become one of the most important events in the film world, maintaining its focus on independent and experimental filmmaking by emerging talents and established auteurs. The competition was founded in 1995 with the aim of discovering, raising the profile of and rewarding up-and-coming international film talent. In 2016 the competition changed. The number of films in competition was decreased to 8 and 2 different awards were now given: one Tiger Award and one special Jury Award for 'exceptional artistic achievement'. Over the years, the Tiger Awards Competition has known several names. For example, a number of years VPRO Tiger Awards Competition. Since a few years now, it's called the Hivos Tiger Competition. -
Venice International Film Critics' Week
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. Founded by Lino Micciché in 1984, the Venice International Film Critics’ Week (Settimana Internazionale della Critica) has been from the beginning committed to finding, promoting and consolidating new voices and emerging talents of world cinema. For these reasons, the section, which is independently organized by the Sindacato Nazionale Critici Cinematografici Italiani (SNCCI) – Italian National Union of Film Critics – within the Venice International Film Festival, has for some years now exclusively proposed debut feature films to an audience of cinephiles, film industry professionals and hopefully an increasing number of film goers. Programs of 1995 and 1996 are missing because the Venice Critics' Week didn't take place in those two years. *Missing on ICM: 1993: *Touchia (Rachid Benhadj)* 2004: *Kuang Fang (Leste Chen)*
