KABOOM Animation Festival

We’ve got the feeling that this will be one for the books – or for the screens. The second week November is all about animation. Running Saturday 9 – Sunday 17 November, Kaboom Animation Festival is opening pandora’s box of all things animated, in all shapes and sizes. Varying from cosmic identity-crises to animated erotica. It’s going to be colorful, it’s going to be explosive. As Kaboom put it themselves “Kaboom adores animation. We live it, we breathe it, we devour it like an unguarded bag of cookies.” To make sense of all of this, we decided to highlight 5 screenings that struck our eyes and minds.

And before we move on, we have a limited amount of free tickets for members, for selected screenings. To secure a spot, please shoot a mail to mailinglist@subbacultcha.nl with ‘Kaboom’ + the name of the screening you would like to attend in the subject line & your full name in the mail.

The State against Mandela and the Others

There were no cameras in court when Nelson Mandela and nine other defendants were sentenced to life imprisonment in 1964, but sound recordings were made throughout the trial. Directors Nicolas Champeaux and Gilles Porte recognized the potential of these 256 hours of audio, and used them to create a vivid reflection on the apartheid era.
