Short films, recommended for this time

The short film is an exciting film form, in which young talent often present themselves first. A large number of Dutch short films find their way to the cinemas via the Korte Film Poule, Eye's distribution platform. For those who like to watch at home, Eye has put together a number of online programmes (in Dutch) to reflect the times we're living in.

Catching up with the greatest films of all time

Lists of the best films of all time almost outnumber films themselves, but some stand out because they are made by renowned institutions or are often used by film buffs. We give an overview of the best lists (in Dutch).
