On the last Friday evening in November 4 TIC members met at Pathe to see the new and innovative movie, Here. The movie by director Robert Zemeckis, stars Tom Hanks and Robin Wright (reunited from Forrest Gump). The film’s unique aspect is that it is all about ONE PLACE (=Here) with the camera sitting in one spot, with 1 angle the entire time. While the bulk of the movie was about the lives of Richard and Margaret in the living room of a house built in the early 19^th century, there were some flashbacks to previous owners of the house, as well as what was on that spot of land before the house was built, including a Native American tribe.

On Friday 22nd October, some members of TIC met at Cinecitta theater in the Willem II straat to watch Girls will be Girls. This Indian film was part of the theater’s 6th annual Cinecitta International Film Festival – CIFF. The movie, directed by Shuchi Talati, depicts the story of an Indian girl’s coming of age in a strict boarding school. It is a sensitive portrayal of how women negotiate with their sexual desires in a conservative society that polices women’s bodies.
