DOSSIERS

Filmmakers

CINEMATEK is pleased to announce its participation in the international conference dedicated to Belgian-French film director Jacques Feyder, a prominent European filmmaker of the 1920s and 1930s. Although widely acclaimed during his lifetime, Feyder’s contribution to film history has since been largely overlooked. This conference aims to re-examine his work, his influence, and his place within European and global cinema.

Archives

Research within the CINEMATEK archive has recently identified Diwata ng Karagatan (Goddess of the Sea), a long-lost Filipino film directed by Carlos Vander Tolosa in 1936. Believed to have been missing for nearly ninety years, not only is it considered a national treasure, it is recognised as one of the oldest surviving titles in Philippine cinema.

Conversations about art, poetry, cinema, and philosophy.

30.10 2025

I was editing my short film Thrift which I shot in New York, in the editing room of an artist collective in Amsterdam. In those days, Amsterdam was a paradise for artists on a budget, especially for collectives.

Summer colour:

Bare feet and lost shoes

01.08 2025

From glass slippers and dancing feet to worn-out trainers and bare toes, this summer shoes and feet are in the spotlight at CINEMA’KET. And of course, that calls for a cheerful colouring page, full of shoes from our film programme. Can you recognise them all?
