Next Real Talks | COMEDY IN FILM

During this talk we explore the power of comedy in film, shining a light on a genre that continues to evolve across both mainstream and independent cinema. But how do you craft humor that resonates, on a tight budget? What themes and perspectives shape comedic storytelling? And how do you translate timing, tone, and absurdity from script to screen? This session examines what it takes to work within the genre, the challenges of making people laugh, and why comedy remains such a vital reflection of contemporary culture.

The moderated panel brings together filmmakers and comedians at different stages of their careers, offering insight into the creative process behind bringing humor to life on screen.

We will welcome actress and host Lonne Gosling, actor and composer Joep Vermolen, and filmmaker Jochem de Vet. The audience is most welcome to interact and ask questions. 

As this talk focuses on comedy—where language, nuance, and timing play a crucial role—it will be conducted in Dutch to fully capture and appreciate the humor.
