Borgman, the new feature film by Dutch film maker Alex van Warmerdam is selected for the main competition of the Cannes International Film Festival 2013. For the first time in 38 years, a Dutch film succeeded to break through to the main competition of the world's leading film festival.

On May 7th 2013 EYE launches its new networking group called EYE Connect with an exciting event. The members of this group support the exhibitions of EYE. This first event is intended for people who want to find out more about what EYE and EYE Connect has to offer. EYE Connect members are offered four network events per year, reduced admission fees and much more.

EYE has recently contributed two more films to the Europa Film Treasures (EFT) portal, bringing the number of EYE films on this streaming video platform to eleven. EFT is freely accessible to everyone and presents the films with new commissioned scores and with the option to watch them with subtitles in five languages. EYE and EFT have been collaborating since 2009.

From Berlin to Hong Kong, from Madrid to Los Angeles: copies from EYE’s film collections are being shown all over the world. The vivid interest taken in EYE’s collections by fellow museums and film archives not only relates to silent movies from the beginning of the twentieth century, but also extends to Dutch experimental film makers or films that have been restored to their former glory by EYE, as for instance films by the German director Werner Schroeter.

On 18 December 2012 EYE welcomed its 250,000th paying visitor. Since the opening of its new building on 5 April this year, EYE has been able to welcome more than 500,000 visitors.The Found Footage, Stanley Kubrick and Expanded Cinema exhibitions were especially well received by the public.

The biggest and most influential silent film festival in the world will be taking place from 6 to 13 October this year. As in years past, EYE will be presenting an impressive number of films spread throughout the festival’s various sub-programmes.

In the spotlight

From 30 March to 9 June 2013, EYE presents the exhibition ‘Johan van der Keuken / Up to the light. Filmmaker and photographer’. The exhibition’s line of approach is the extraordinary way in which Van der Keuken brought together contrasting images in his films and observed a world in constant transition. Always on his travels but also close to home, Van der Keuken intercut his observations in Africa, Asia or Latin America with similar or indeed diametrically opposed situations.

In the spring of 2012 EYE moved into its new location on the northern bank of the river IJ.

EYE International’s goal is to generate both cultural and commercial interest in Dutch films abroad in order to strengthen the position of Dutch film on the international market.
 

Internationally, EYE is a pioneer in the restoration and digitalisation of film.
