Scotia.
A WEEK OF AVANT GARDE CINEMA

screenings and seminars. The centerpiece of this
celebration is a special Monday Night Movies
presentation of innovative films from The Netherlands
avant-garde scene curated and presented by Dutch

A screening of experimental and avant-garde film works
from the Dutch underground. Whether it’s through

sexual encounter, these films highlight the
individual’s search for his or her own place in the
chain of nature, society, spirituality, and sexuality.
Meanwhile, the filmmakers themselves are also carving
a space for their artistic medium, as they shape
images on 16mm film through alternative and hand-made
practices. Curated and introduced by Dutch filmmaker
Pim Zwier.
