- we have three new guest reviewers from UvA film studies: Bogna Bochińska, Zoë Verbeke and Sharon Canals, who all get to share their thoughts on a super interesting new film, Promising Young Woman
- look back on our reviewers favourite film screenings in Amsterdam from the past year
- look ahead to what 2021 film releases they can’t wait to hit Amsterdam cinemas (when they open)
- an online social screening we can all enjoy for Christmas.
