The films selected for our Dutch Asian Classics category, take us back in time, towards the early 2000s. Each of them being important milestones in the history of Dutch Asian diasporic cinema. These films were the first ones to tell their story from an insider’s perspective, paving the way for a new generation of filmmakers to share their stories and to let other voices be heard. Therefore, the films selected for this year’s festival shouldn’t be overlooked when it comes to the history of cinema in the Netherlands.
