SUMMARY:East of Noon @ Concordia Enschede
DESCRIPTION:Screening of the feature film EAST OF NOON by artist-filmmaker Hala Elkoussy at Concordia cinema in Enschede in collaboration with Moving Image department of AKI. The program starts with a lecture by the artist followed by a screening with Q&A in presence of Hala Elkoussy. The film is screened with English subtitles. \nIn EAST OF NOON the young musician Abdo rebels against his elders\, seeking freedom through his art in a confined world outside of time. The film is an impressive\, opulently designed fable with a surreal undertone exposing the fate of rebellious youth in an imaginary autocratic enclave. \nEAST OF NOON is the second feature of Hala Elkoussy. It premiered in 2024 at Quinzaine des Cinéastes in Cannes and had its Dutch premiere at IFFR. The screening is part of the Dutch cinema release of the film in selected theaters. \nMore information on East of Noon \nInterview with Hala Elkoussy in MetropolisM

SUMMARY:Dutch Premiere Monikondee @ IDFA
DESCRIPTION:MONIKONDEE\, a participatory film project by Surinamese theatermaker Tolin Alexander and Dutch artist-filmmakers Lonnie van Brummelen & Siebren de Haan\, premieres in the Netherlands at IDFA\, where it screens in the Signed program. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the three directors. \nIn the remote rainforest between Suriname and French Guiana\, Boogie—a Maroon boatman—delivers essential goods to communities facing crop failure from climate change and water pollution caused by gold mining. As self-sufficiency comes under growing pressure\, local livelihoods grow increasingly dependent on money to survive\, and ancestral traditions come under strain. \nMONIKONDEE blends participatory filmmaking with the multi-voiced Maroon Mato storytelling tradition to portray resilience in the face of ecological disruption\, economic pressure\, and shifting social realities. \nMONIKONDEE had its world premiere at Cinéma du Réel\, where it won the Intangible Heritage Award. It has also received prizes and recognition at festivals in Morocco\, Italy\, and French Guiana. Cinema Delicatessen will release the film in Dutch cinemas starting 20 November. \nMore information on the project \nInterview with the directors \n

SUMMARY:Monikondee @ Kriterion Amsterdam
DESCRIPTION:Special screening of Monikondee at KRITERION Amsterdam\, English subtitles.\nThe screening will be followed by a Q&A with the three directors: Tolin Alexander\, Lonnie van Brummelen and Siebren de Haan moderated by Berith Danse. \nTime: 19:15-21:15 hrs\nAddress: Roetersstraat 170 Amsterdam \nFor centuries\, the Maroons in Suriname have kept capitalist society at bay. Descendants of enslaved Africans who escaped plantations\, they survived by adhering to ancestral values. In recent years\, however\, economic interests have penetrated deep into the rainforest. \nBoatman Boogie navigates the Maroni River\, which forms the border between Suriname and French Guiana\, to deliver essential cargo to remote Maroon and Indigenous communities. While these forest peoples grow their own food\, they are increasingly dependent on boatmen for their daily provisions. Climate-driven flooding and droughts are destroying their crops\, and gold mining is poisoning the water. When Boogie is summoned by his clan leaders to attend his nephew’s trial\, the demands of his work begin to conflict with his traditional duties. During a winding journey far upstream\, the currents grow increasingly unpredictable. \nBoogie is the film’s narrator\, sharing this role with the people he encounters. The multi-voiced narrative of this hybrid\, participatory documentary draws inspiration from the mato\, a collective Maroon storytelling technique in which the storyteller is interrupted by others who add their own stories and songs. The script was developed in dialogue with the participants\, and in the film\, they re-enact their own lives. \nMore information on Monikondee

SUMMARY:Monikondee: EYE streaming & Fiiman Dey
DESCRIPTION:Monikondee: EYE streaming & Fiiman Dey\nDe bekroonde documentaire Monikondee wordt vanaf 27 augustus 2026 wereldwijd beschikbaar via het streamingplatform van Eye Filmmuseum. Eye selecteerde de film als een van de 25 films van de 21e eeuw die het instituut onder de aandacht wil brengen van een internationaal publiek. De film is te bekijken met Nederlandse\, Engelse\, Franse en Spaanse ondertiteling: player.eyefilm.nl/en/films/monikondee \nVoor kijkers in Suriname is Monikondee gratis beschikbaar via de link:\nplayer.eyefilm.nl/nl/films/monikondee-sr \nVertoning tijdens Fiiman Dey \nNaast de online release krijgt Monikondee ook een bijzondere vertoning in Suriname in het kader van Fiiman Dey\, de Dag van de Marrons. Deze jaarlijkse viering herdenkt de vrede die de Ndyuka op 10 oktober 1760 sloten met de Nederlandse koloniale overheid — het eerste vredesverdrag dat duurzaam standhield. Dit vormde een erkenning van de autonomie van de Marrons. \nDe vertoning vindt plaats op 15 oktober in Paramaribo. Daarbij zullen gezagsdragers aanwezig zijn van gemeenschappen die in de film een rol spelen\, leden van het filmteam\, assemblee-leden en regeringsfunctionarissen. Na afloop volgt een panelgesprek over de thema’s van de film en de actuele betekenis ervan voor Suriname. De vertoning wordt georganiseerd door Forum Tolin Toli Masanga en de exacte locatie van de vertoning wordt binnenkort bekendgemaakt via: vriza.org \nDe bijeenkomst wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door het prijzengeld van de Human Rights Film Award\, die Monikondee in 2025 ontving tijdens het 21e Move It! Film Festival für Menschenrechte in Dresden. \nDe jury schreef: “Door de intimiteit van de hoofdpersonen en de moed om het verhaal op caleidoscopische wijze te vertellen\, maakt Monikondee het mogelijk om geopolitiek te begrijpen vanuit de geleefde ervaring.” \nHet volledige juryrapport is hier te lezen \nOver de film \nMonikondee is een film van Tolin Alexander\, Lonnie van Brummelen en Siebren de Haan\, gemaakt met Kalina\, Wayana\, Pamaka\, Aluku en Ndyuka gemeenschappen. \nMonikondee speelt zich af op in het rivierrijke grensgebied van Suriname en Frans-Guyana. Vanuit de leefwereld van Marrons en Inheemse gemeenschappen toont de film de gevolgen van goudwinning\, klimaatverandering en eeuwenlange economische exploitatie — maar ook de moed en het doorzettingsvermogen waarmee zij hun leven en toekomst in eigen hand proberen te houden. \nInfo over Fiiman Dey — Tolin Alexander: erwin_alexander@yahoo.com \nInfo over Monikondee en streaming — Lonnie van Brummelen: lonnie@vriza.org
