For the first time, Het Documentaire Paviljoen joins the Amsterdam Student Film Festival as one of its five venues.

The program Shedding Soft Teeth opens towards filmmaking as a home-making and place-making practice, as a way to negotiate reality through creation in order to find belonging. Inhabiting thematic, narrative, and stylistic thresholds, the eight films composing this program sustain a constellation of struggles and aspirations accompanying trajectories of coming of age. They are permeated by a myriad of searches for ways of being in the world, being together, and being within oneself.

The program:

The screening at 13:00 is followed by 30 minutes of Q&A with filmmakers. We will screen the program of films once more at 15:45 without a Q&A.

About the Amsterdam Student Film Festival

The Amsterdam Student Film Festival began in 2022 as an initiative by a group of students, in a film club named CUT at Amsterdam Unviersity College, with the desire to create a space where student filmmakers could meet, connect, and showcase their work. The festival focuses on experimental, non-commercial films by emerging makers, offering students a professional platform to present their work on the big screen while fostering an inclusive and supportive creative community.
