Filmclub Sunset Boelelaan: The Death of Stalin
Join the newest edition of the Film Club Sunset Boelelaan!
In this politically inspired film club, we will explore a different political theme or case study through the powerful medium of cinema. Once per month, we will screen a new release, a cult classic, or a deep cut.
All films have a specific societal or political value that will be explored before the screening through a short lecture from an engaged expert in the film’s subject matter, whether that be a professor, an professional in the field, or a student. In each screening, we will explore how cinema is shaped by politics - and vice versa - and learn about a wide range of countries and time periods through film. If you are passionate about cinema, or enjoy learning about politics through the big screen, this club is for you!
This month we will be viewing Armando Iannucci's The Death of Stalin (2017).
