Koolhovens Keuze | Argo

Natlab x BROET x Martin Koolhoven
Fri 19 Dec 19:30

Director Martin Koolhoven gives an inspired film lecture about one of his personal favorite genres, themes, actors, actresses or directors. Afterwards, a matching film will be shown, chosen by Martin himself.

Please note: the lecture is Dutch spoken.

ARGO
Amid the Iranian hostage crisis in 1979, the CIA hatches a plan so absurd it could hardly work: using a fake film production as cover to smuggle six Americans out of the country.

With Argo, Ben Affleck delivered a political thriller that feels as tense as a spy film, while also rawly exposing the clash between power, fear, and diplomacy. The story is bizarre—yet based on true events. An Oscar winner for Best Picture and still a gripping look at the world of illusion and reality, Hollywood and international politics.

Before the screening, you’ll get a film lecture by Martin Koolhoven on the film.
