Cinéma CANTINE
8 Sundays, 8 movies on big screen at CANTINE!
Eight winter Sundays when the restaurant slowly transforms from dining room to movie theater. On big screen we screen modern classics, carefully selected by creators Olivia Lonsdale and Idriss Nabil.
Olivia Lonsdale comes from the world of acting and makes films from a deep understanding of human relationships and authenticity. Empathy, character development and the thin line between real life and what happens on screen are central to her work. Personal stories she deliberately places in strong settings, where space, atmosphere and influences from classic cinema become part of the story itself.
Idriss Nabil is a filmmaker and writer with a background in acting, trained at the Dutch Film Academy. His work brings to life a colorful mix of characters and approaches heavy themes through youth stories in a playful and accessible way. His films bring together diverse backgrounds and perspectives, with a strong focus on youth, identity and human connection.

March 1 - Turist (2014)

March 8 - Shabu (2021)
An absolute gem of its own. A hybrid form of documentary and fiction that feels like a wonderful feature film. The 14-year-old Shabu crashes his beloved grandmother's car while joyriding - and has to regain her trust and money just when he needs her most.
