Thunder Road, which name was based on the Bruce Springsteen song, became an instant success as it won multiple prestigious awards all…
Girl: Exceptionally Moving Film with Immensely Captivating Acting Performances.
When we are born, it’s either as a girl or a boy. Growing up, we create our own identity. Partly influenced by our peers and environment, but most importantly by ourselves. How we feel, what we think and what we want to do with our lives. Sometimes that can result in feeling trapped in your…
Colette: A Man’s World Being Conquered by a Fearless Woman in this Astonishing Film
Yes, we’re in 2018, a year during which openness, matters of opinion and equality are the fundaments of our society. Or at least that’s what we make ourselves believe. How many times per day do you hear “women should wear heels”, “where’s that dress” or “a woman with short hair is too manly”? When it…

Raindance Film Festival 2018 ~ If the Dancer Dances: Moving film about a choreography legend who passed away too early
We only need a few seconds before recognising the undeniably familiar bolero from the French choreographer Maurice Béjart and Julius Reisinger.

Raindance Film Festival 2018 ~ Major Arcana: When man meets nature in a peaceful, stunning film
