Want to see international films but you can’t keep up with Dutch subtitles? Want to meet fellow expats and new Dutch people? Love cinema? Great! We got your back!

So many wonderful films are being made by talented directors from all over the world, spoken in many different languages. But if Dutch subtitling doesn’t work for you, you might miss a lot of the good stuff. And we don’t want that. That’s why we are introducing our English subtitled movies on Wednesday nights!

‘The zone of interest’ is nominated for five Oscars, including Best Picture.

The year is 1943. Rudolf Höss and his wife Hedwig (Sandra Hüller, ‘Anatomy of a fall’) strive to build a dream life for their family: their idyllic home, complete with a thriving garden, is separated only by a wall from the horrors of Auschwitz, where Rudolf, a commandant, oversees the Final Solution. As Rudolf’s stature in the government grows, his family remains blissfully ignorant of the atrocities going on just outside their front door – and the fact that their patriarch is a key player in one of history’s darkest chapters.

Told with masterful restraint by director Jonathan Glazer, aided by powerful performances and an utterly haunting soundscape from his ‘Under the skin’ collaborator Mica Levi, ‘The zone of interest’ transforms Martin Amis’s novel into a chilling and unforgettable treatise on complicity. ‘The zone of interest’ was awarded the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival and is the UK’s Oscar entry for Best International Film.
