What do absurdist Quentin Dupieux’s superhero parody, the latest film with Tom Burke in the leading role and the winner of the Best Actor award in Locarno have in common?

Screened at prominent national and international festivals, yet never released in Dutch cinemas. Quite unjustly so, Eye Filmmuseum thinks, and so it has once again brought an exceptional selection of films from international festivals to the Netherlands.

Apparently, none of these films warranted a standard Dutch cinematic release. Eye will now screen them as part of Previously Unreleased. They will be shown daily, for at least a week in Amsterdam (Eye, De FilmHallen) and will screen at cinemas across the country from the summer onwards. Previously Unreleased 2023 will start at Eye on 29 June 2023 with Les pires.

The film premieres alternate between Eye and De FilmHallen. Every first screening in Amsterdam will be introduced by someone from the Filmkrant. The Previously Unreleased titles will also be screened around the country.
