It is a fine tradition: every year, the best and most beautiful films from IDFA tour the country. This year too. Rialto VU and Rialto De Pijp are two of the theatres where the Tour passes, with three special and award-winning films. On Saturday 21 January at Rialto VU and Saturday 25 February at Rialto De Pijp.
It is a long programme, but both between the first and second films, and the second and third films, there is a half-hour intermission.
Please take note: the films have Dutch subtitles.
Paradise

A heatwave in Siberia leads to massive forest fires. Villagers join forces to contain the fire, which they call The Dragon. Visually strong film about the inferno that climate change can cause.

Petra Lataster-Czisch & Peter Lataster | Netherlands | 2022 | 113' | Dutch, Russian spoken | Dutch subtitles
The first corona year through the eyes of documentary veterans Petra and Peter Lataster, who lovingly point the camera at their shrunken world. Their calm report captures the wonder of this unique historical period.

Apolonia, Apolonia
Lea Glob | Denmark, Poland, France | 2022 | 116' | French, Polish, English, Danish spoken | Dutch subtitles
Portrait of the artist as a young woman. Apolonia is talented, but is that enough to make a break through in the art world? An impressive film that covers thirteen years from an anything but average life.
