Description
From cult classics to today’s popular movies, Celebrating Cinema, from Amsterdam’s LAB111, explores the films that shape how we see the world. Each week, Laura Gommans (film journalist), Hugo Emmerzael (film critic), Kiriko Mechanicus (filmmaker), and Tom Ooms (film programmer) take turns diving into movies old and new — revealing what they tell us about ourselves, our culture, and the times we live in. Insightful, nostalgic, and sometimes delightfully absurd, this is a podcast for anyone who loves films.
