Between October 30th and November 3rd we’re pleased to inaugurate the first edition of the Amsterdam Film Meeting.The AMFM (and what a precisely glib, vaguely corporate name, for an event that has its home in Filmhuis Cavia, a cooperatively run, independent cinema) doesn’t necessarily respond to a lack in film exhibition — the collective experience of the screening room, and the opportunity, albeit increasingly rare, to watch moving image on its original format, in the presence of its makers, remains nonpareil. The urge for the AMFM, was rather to wind back some of the problems of the international festival setting, with its increasing commercialisation, pitches and distribution windows, to make space for more discussion, more personal cinephilia, more emphasis on process over product, and more community for filmmakers working independently.
Over one long weekend at the seam between Autumn and Winter, AMFM will convene a varied programme in terms of style, form, and school of cinema. Filmmakers and artists working from many different vantages and “stages of career” are brought together to a relatively small cinema to show works-in-progress, diaristic collections, a partial retrospective in international premiere, and analogue cinema performances. Their shared commitment to experimentation figures as the main curatorial throughline.
Indeed, as many films across the programme interrogate, the cinematic encounter is incomplete without an open-eyed and curious spectator. We hope you can make it out, we hope you can bring friends, your film school class, your neighbours.
This first edition of AMFM is only made possible due to the support of the Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst. We are tremendously grateful for their trust.
