Some IFFR films divide audiences like no other: you either love them or hate them. What for some is a work of genius, for others is an impenetrable maze of experimentation. On the last day of the festival, four of these impetuous, opinion-splitting titles will be screened in EYE. Masterly cinema for the hard-core cinema-lover.
These ‘wayward’ films score a lot of ‘exceptionally good’s and a lot of ‘exceptionally bad’s in the audience surveys – they leave little room for ambivalence, but always stimulate debate. These are the festival’s pieces of cinematographic bravado, the masterful experiments. The Dag van de Dwarse Film salutes these innovative, daring, original and exceptional films with their own day in film institute EYE in Amsterdam. Submit to them and see for yourself. Last year, films like Cavalo Dinheiro, Norfolk and Jauja were programmed in the Dag van de Dwarse Film.
