The Curaçao Limited Film Festival starts April 21

WILLEMSTAD – Fundashon Bon Intenshon has launched a successor to the Curaçao International Film Festival Rotterdam: FILM DAYS 2023, a festival limited edition. It will start on April 21 and last three days.

After the IFFR Rotterdam International Film Festival canceled its ten-year sponsorship contract with Fundashon Bon Intenshon at the end of 2022, the Gregory Elias Foundation concluded that another year without a film festival was not an option.

That’s why the foundation begins with Movie Days! A total of 12 exciting films will be shown on April 21, 22 and 23 at The Movies Otrobanda.

The selection of films includes dramas, thrillers, and comedies, and they are also related to each other. So you’ll find similar relationships in the Aftersun and L’Innocent films – the former focusing on the father-daughter relationship and the latter on the mother-son relationship. Another connection in the themes can be found this year in Holy Spider and Godland, both of which tell stories of experiences with a strong religious background.

In addition to the twelve films, the Curaçao International Film Festival shorts, written and produced by local teenagers using their smartphones, will also be shown.
