The Lighthouse Film Club
Do you love movies? Are you curious about new stories, eager to explore the art of filmmaking, and excited to share your passion for cinema with others? Join The Lighthouse Film Club! It’s going to be a fantastic and inspiring experience, and you'll meet people who share your enthusiasm for films!
What are we going to do?
We're going to watch movies! And of course, we'll also discuss these films together. After the screening, we'll talk about the film, focusing on aspects such as content, technique, and cinematography. Additionally, this offers a place where you can meet new people who share the same passion for film.
Your hosts of the Film Club are Thijs Bos and Chris Heydra. Together they have 13 years of experience with film analysis and also taught courses and workshops at The Hague University of Applied Sciences and the Royal Academy of Art (KABK). Together they will guide you to see what others do not quickly notice in film. But beware, once you know the subtle tricks of the film you will never watch a movie the same again.
Students and staff of The Hague University of Applied Sciences are welcome! Admission is free, as always.
Gremlins | Decemer 11
Gremlins is a 1984 American black comedy horror film directed by Joe Dante, written by Chris Columbus and starring Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates, Hoyt Axton, Polly Holliday and Frances Lee McCain, with Howie Mandel providing the voice of Gizmo the Mogwai. It draws on legends of folkloric mischievous creatures that cause malfunctions—"gremlins"—in the British Royal Air Force going back to World War II. The story follows Billy Peltzer, who receives Gizmo as a pet, who then spawns more of his kind that evolve into the titular imp-like monsters that wreak havoc on Billy's hometown during Christmas Eve.
