The festival is the largest cultural event in the Netherlands, with almost 300,000 tickets sold annually. This year, there are sections on propaganda, living with 24-7 social media, modern feminism, the return of surrealism, and Korean multi-talent Jang Jin has a retrospective. It all sounds great! For now, a quick glance already shows off the festival's famous slant towards Asian cinema, and there are also plenty of highlights from new talent form all over the world.
