CinemAsia, the annual Asian film festival in the Netherlands, will start its upcoming edition on Saturday March 10 from 1-2.30pm in filmtheatre Kriterion in Amsterdam with hosting masterclasses by two of their (inter)national guests (and judges): Indonesian director Joko Anwar (Satan’s Slaves, Halfworlds, A Copy of Mind) and Dutch director Martin Koolhoven (Brimstone, War Winter). They will talk to each other about their experiences with directing genre films. In a conversation moderated by film critic Hugo Emmerzael, these two directors and film connoisseurs go into their artistic vision, for which audience they make their films (national and international) and at the differences – and possibly also similarities – between the European and Asian markets.
