KinoTalk: Sugar

KinoTalk’s back! We’re rounding off 2026 with Sugar, the award-winning Dutch film by director Amira Duynhouwer. With a strong visual style, impressive sound and set against the backdrop of Amsterdam’s Zuidoost neighbourhood, Sugar is a film you won’t just watch – you’ll also feel.

After the screening of Sugar, we’ll be discussing the film’s central theme: domestic violence. A topic that is still hugely relevant; such violence takes on different forms, and is often closer to home than we think. All the more reason to talk about it and create space for recognition, new perspectives and honest conversations.

Former MovieZone participant Noëlle van Russel will be talking with Delany Lepelblad, who plays the lead role in the film. Together, we’ll look beyond the film and discuss how the themes arising in Sugar relate to the world in which we live.

Afterwards there’ll be music, drinks and plenty of opportunity to meet one another and carry on the conversation in the bar.

Sugar (2026, 85')

Chyna is the number one stylist in the neighbourhood. In the salon she runs with her sisters, she’s admired not only for her talent, but also because she’s Raoul’s girl – and everyone in the hood wants him. Behind closed doors though, their relationship is not what it seems. As Raoul becomes more and more violent, Chyna increasingly realises that she’s going to have to leave behind everything she ever knew. For her own safety and that of her young daughter Sugar. As Chyna gathers her courage, one thing becomes painfully clear: Raoul won’t let her go just like that.
