DARREN ARONOFSKY RETROSPECTIVE
(in collaboration with )
22.06 > 21.07

This summer, CINEMATEK is dedicating a retrospective to Darren Aronofsky, the ‘wunderkind’ of New York independent cinema. The filmmaker, known for his psychologically intense, enigmatic and unsettling misanthropic works, will be present at a special opening night on 22 June for the screening of The Fountain, followed by a discussion (in English) with Louis Danvers. This programme is also the ideal opportunity to (re)discover Pi, his visceral debut film about obsession; the visual punch that is Requiem for a Dream, with its iconic soundtrack by Clint Mansell; or Black Swan, the breathtaking thriller that earned Natalie Portman an Oscar, on the big screen.

Black Swan (Darren Aronofsky, USA, 2010)
Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel, Mila Kunis

NEW PRICES & SUPPORT TICKET
From the first of June 2026, we will be making a slight adjustment to our prices. In recent years, the costs associated with energy, maintenance of our building and projection infrastructure, film restoration and archive collection management have risen significantly. This price change will enable us to continue maintaining our theatres, restoring and digitising fragile films, and supporting the daily work of our archivists.

We also introducing a new €10 support ticket. This ticket will cover your €7 entry to the screening, and the other €3 directly funds a specific project at CINEMATEK. This year, the proceeds will fund a poster restoration project from our Documentation Centre. Read more about the Support Project and our new ticket prices on our website.

We thank you for your understanding and support, and we look forward to seeing you at CINEMATEK.

Dorp aan de rivier draait rond een onafhankelijke arts, werkzaam in een plattelandsgemeenschap. Hij heeft een eigenzinnige visie op de geneeskunde en wordt verstoten na de zelfmoord van een van zijn patiënten. Het scenario geschreven door Hugo Claus, gebaseerd op de gelijknamige streekroman van Antoon Coolens, combineert tragedie met het pittoreske. Rademakers' debuutfilm werd bij de release slecht ontvangen door critici, maar kreeg uiteindelijk erkenning voor zijn ware waarde met een Oscarnominatie die alle critici overtuigde.

Dorp aan de rivier (Fons Rademakers, The Netherlands, 1958)

STOP THE PRESSES!
01.06 > 31.08

Are they guardians of democracy or paparazzo, idealists or manipulators? One thing is certain; the journalist is a character tailor-made for cinema. From 1930s Hollywood comedies to recent thrillers, this programme explores how the press is portrayed on screen, shifting between the excesses of sensationalist reporting and the democratic ideal. The programme includes: Park Row, the passionate tribute by Samuel Fuller (himself a former crime reporter); the essential Watergate investigation in All the President’s Men; and Reporters by Raymond Depardon, a fascinating documentary look at press photography in the 1980s, somewhere between testimony, voyeurism and cultural artefact.

🎟 Two films for one ticket

Every month, together with Offscreen, we present a double bill from the CINEMATEK archives. In May, we'll get into "Baadasssss Blaxploitation: Can Ya Dig It?". For years, African American actors appeared in Hollywood Studio films only as kitchen helpers, slaves, prisoners, or musicians, although Sidney Poitier or Harry Bellafonte were occasionally allowed to appear in racial dramas by white directors, such as In the Heat of the Night. In the early 1970s, this changed with the rise of the blaxploitation genre, the black cousin of the exploitation film that caused a small sensation in the American grindhouse circuit and occasionally managed to infiltrate mainstream cinema with violent, sexy, and funky films. Emerging from the civil rights and Black Power movements, blaxploitation was a contradictory, confrontational, and controversial phenomenon that both broke and reinforced prevailing racial stereotypes, reflected but also exaggerated life in urban ghettos, and alienated as many moviegoers, critics, and activists as it attracted. The profane language, gratuitous female nudity, and explicit violence appealed to a white audience as well, even though the films are bursting with pent-up anger regarding perceived injustice and are a raised middle finger to privileged White America .

In a remote Calvinist community on the Scottish coast, the devout Bess marries a "stranger" who works on an oil rig. She interprets the misfortune that befalls her husband as a divine sign. A mystical and subversive melodrama that shakes up the genre's conventions with liberated camerawork and breathtaking editing.

Psychiatrist Domnick made his debut with this film experiment about a man who, upon finding a hat, is overwhelmed by feelings of guilt towards an old friend. Face to face with his demons, the city holds up a dark mirror of his past. Based on a minimalist story, the film expresses a Kafkaesque universe that reflects the guilt felt by the German people in the 1950s.

Jonas (Ottomar Domnick, BRD, 1957)
