Ongoing

Eye Classics means a reunion with great directors from all over the world. Think of Hitchcock, Truffaut, Fellini. But don't forget Fons Rademakers, Wim Verstappen and Adriaan Ditvoorst. And then there's Hou Hsiao-hsien, Kurosawa, Ozu, Ang Lee and Tarkovski...

Eye now brings film history even closer with Eye Classics. On the big screen, screened in 35mm whenever possible.

Exhibition

This exhibition is a journey through a selection of works from her oeuvre, in which the passing of time and the role of the landscape as a mental space are recurring themes.

How do we hold on to memories – in archives, in the mind, in the landscape, on film? Visual artist and filmmaker Fiona Tan investigates ways in which we record the world around us.

In this VR work by Clément Deneux, together with the five directors, we enter a scene from such a film that was never made, while they tell us about this dream project. Parallel to the VR experience, Eye screens the best films by these directors.

A virtual reality experience and a selection of films by five top international directors, including Naomi Kawase and Abel Ferrara.
