IFFR Filmclub x Dokhuis

IFFR Filmclub x Dokhuis returns for another edition on 10 July. This time, we celebrate Keti Koti, with a screening of the films Grandloge Filantropia by Bouba Dola and Waka nanga mi by Evani Gilds. Will you join us?

About the films

Grandeloge Filantropia by Bouba Dola (Netherlands, 2023, 44 min.)

When the western world is about to collapse because of fear, inequality, misogyny, xenophobia, narcissism and other disruptive forces, a secret Surinam based society comes to action. The apathy of the future western generations can only be nullified by letting the blood of the petty kids boil again. Therefore the cult sends their prodigy child Tjon Rockon, a former graffiti artist, to the Netherlands to rescue civilisation through the method of self-cancelling and performative rituals.

Waka nanga mi by Evani Gilds (Netherlands, 2023, 10 min.)

Vacillating between past and present, we observe Ewald at home. While his mother was hoping for a better future, he left everything behind to move to a new country. At home, he longs for the things he abandoned and turns to what he knows: his inner world. He focuses on his work as a watchmaker, while his past keeps veering into the present.

Both films have English subtitles.

  • About the IFFR Filmclub

    Filmclub is a new initiative of IFFR, currently in the pilot phase, where (future) film lovers, young filmmakers and creatives come together to watch films and exchange interests. The idea is that the Filmclub will take place biweekly at various locations throughout Rotterdam, where a mix of (inter)national films, both new and true classics, will be shown in a relaxed setting in combination with discussions, workshops or parties. Whether you are discovering cinema for the first time or are already well on your way as a filmmaker, the Filmclub is a place to get inspired, network or just come and watch a film. The club works together with local communities throughout Rotterdam.

  • About Film at Dokhuis

    Dokhuis offers a unique space where people can come together to watch and create films. They believe cinema possesses the transformative power to help us explore not only the world around us but also the depths of our own selves. It serves as a dynamic medium for fostering meaningful dialogue and connection.

    Starting in 2025, Dokhuis will host a monthly film evening on the first Friday of every month, as part of the IFFR Filmclub.

Admission is free (registration required)
