Asian Movie Night
is a roaming film initiative which introduces a wide range of Asian films of various genres to the public in the Netherlands, with curated themes and after-movie talks to open up relevant discussions on timely subjects. With our love for Asian cinema, which has still a lot to offer to the Dutch movie scene, we bring in different narratives and aesthetics to a broad audience through collaboration with different venues.
Our aim is to foster cross-cultural understanding and cultivate a sense of empathy across differences through an experience centered around film.
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.
