Asian Movie Night
(AMN) is a diasporic film platform in the Netherlands. Established as a direct response to the systematic lack of Asian representation in the Dutch cultural scene, AMN brings in radically different narratives and aesthetics to a broad audience through collaboration with various cultural venues. With an interdisciplinary approach that integrates film, visual art, design, and conversations, AMN aims to challenge the notion of 'Asianness' by transcending nation-state borders and resisting fixed identities.
Asian Movie Night started in 2017 as a student initiative in ArtEZ Arnhem, and was established as a foundation in 2020. The co-founders are Kleopatra Vorria, an artist and a writer, and
Yuchen
Li, an artist and a cultural project producer.
In the past years, we have received financial support from Municipality Arnhem, Stroomversneller, Het Cultuur Funds for equipment and sponsorship from ArtEZ University of Arts.
As a roaming project, we have had collaboration with various institutes, such as Focus Filmtheater, WALTER Books, ArtEZ University of Arts, Under the Table, Collectie de Groen, Omstand and B53 Art Space in Arnhem, KloosterKino, Lux in Nijmegen, OtherWise and Wageningen University in Wageningen, Filmhuis Cavia in Amsterdam, Bak basis voor actuele kunst in Utrecht, KINO in Rotterdam, Limestone Books Maastricht, WORM Rotterdam.
