Kaboom 2024: People Are Strange (When You’re a Stranger)

He had scribbled down "People are strange when you're stranger. Faces look ugly when you're alone", referring to outcasts, those on the edges of society who feel alienated and misunderstood, unwanted even. It's arguably something we can all relate to. Let's raise a toast to those who remain in solitude and dwell in the shadows of existence. Let's celebrate vulnerability and fringe characters, because aren't we all a bit weird or obsessed after all?

The films shown in this programme are either spoken or subtitled in English.

Kaboom 2024

Home sweet home. Zoals het klokje thuis tikt, tikt het nergens. Home is where the heart is. There’s no place like home. What does home mean to you? Wat if it’s no longer a place, but an object, a person, a memory, a taste, a language, a smell or an image?
