Additional context for film programs, filmmakers, and our own activities.
Through these dossiers, we want to provide a space on our website to share additional context about our film programs, featured filmmakers, and internal initiatives. The thematic and educational focus may range from providing historical background or film-theoretical insights on genres and techniques, to exploring issues related to gender, racism, and the broader impact of film on representation.

Âge d’Or
L’Âge d’Or was created by Jacques Ledoux, founder of the Film Museum. L’Âge d’Or is the name of the surrealist feature film by Luis Buñuel from 1930. For Ledoux, this was the pre-eminent example of a film in which innovative language makes the subversiveness of the content even more pungent.

CINEMATEK en Courtisane brengen een hommage aan de kunstenaar en cineast Kevin Jerome Everson. Deze onvermoeibare meesterportrettist filmt de Afro-Amerikaanse werkende klasse tijdens het dagelijks leven bij werk en ontspanning, wars van alle narratieve conventies en clichés met betrekking tot de representatie van Afro-Amerikanen op het scherm.
