Jan-Willem van Ewijk / Netherlands, Switzerland, Slovenia / 2024 / 100 min / Dutch, English

In this existential adventure, and a psychological study into male competitiveness, a father and son venture into the snowy mountains where they collide head-on, both with the overwhelming nature surrounding them and with each other.

cast Reinout Scholten van Aschat (Rein), Gijs Scholten van Aschat (Gijs), Pia Amofa (Laura), Julien Genoud (Julien), Daria Fuchs (Anna), Kaija Ledergerber (Juna), Pia Nikolić (Priska), Kaija Lederberger (helicopter pilot)

IMDb

After his mother passes away, Rein moves to a small village in the Alps to be immersed in nature, meditate and work as a snowboard teacher. When Rein’s extroverted father Gijs comes to visit, he quickly takes centre stage. He charms the youngsters and flirts with Rein’s new girlfriend Laura on a back-country ski tour. When Rein’s patience has reached its breaking point, he drags his father away from the group and they continue their hike up the mountain alone. Gijs feels increasingly uncomfortable with the dangerous terrain, but Rein presses on to the top. It isn’t long before nature violently lashes out, turning their petty struggle for dominance into a quest for survival.

“This is a film about the changing nature of masculinity in our society. It slowly strips a father and son of their modern Western privileges, their technology, their personal grievances and their egos, leaving them naked in the face of nature. The film may start in the noisy and cluttered environment of a ski resort, but the story culminates on the silent, frozen and unforgiving snowfields and rock-faces of the high Alps.” (Jan-Willem van Ewijk)

Materialists Materialists

Celine Song

Saturday, 23. 08. 2025 / 20:20 / Main Hall

Lucy works at a high-end matchmaking company trying to pair up moneyed entrepreneurs with elite bachelors and bachelorettes. When she meets Harry at the wedding of two of her successfully paired clients, she immediately knows that this ‘unicorn’ would be a perfect catch for a lot of her customers. But Harry is more interested in Lucy. And then her ex suddenly shows up… As we could expect from the director of Past Lives, Materialists is not exactly a romantic comedy about a matchmaker torn between two suitors, but rather a lucid examination of the contradictions of love and dating.

Bong Joon Ho

Sunday, 24. 08. 2025 / 19:00 / Main Hall

Six years after Parasite, Korean director Bong Joon-ho is back with another biting satire (this time set in the distant future) with Robert Pattinson shining in the leading role(s). Its unlikely hero, Mickey Barnes, has found himself in the extraordinary circumstance of working for an employer who demands the ultimate commitment to the job… to die, for a living. »Combining the best parts of Snowpiercer and Okja into something new, this warm and wonderful film suggests that Bong loves people even more than he hates capitalism.« – IndieWire.
