This festival that gave the comedy ‘Shoe Story’ a warm welcome two years ago has now named ‘Melodia’ a third-place finisher for its annual Eisenstein Award for Experimental Film.

Festival organisers ‘believe in the transformative power of film to illuminate the human experience, provoke meaningful conversations, and inspire change. Join us as we celebrate the richness of arthouse cinema and its vital role in the cultural landscape.’

The 2025 Blow-Up festival takes place January 12 Sunday.

Wat een zeldzaam indringende film, vooral door het schijnbaar onbreekbaar optimisme van het gezin dat op de vlucht is
