RETROMANIA (2026) (37 min)
Retromania, directed by Manon Harvey (37 min), follows a new generation of free party collectives in Amsterdam. The ghosts of 1990s rave culture still linger, and these collectives are fighting to create autonomous spaces in a city that is increasingly gentrified.
Ventilator screens it at OT301, a place with its own history of autonomous culture in Amsterdam.
Manon has completed the documentary in occasion of the Master in Visual Anthropology at UvA and it was screened for the first time on the 31st of October 2026 during Visual Encounters Film Festival, that Ventilator has been hosting in the last years.
THE TERROR AND THE TIME (70 min)
The Terror and the Time (70 min), made by the Victor Jara Collective. Made in the late 70's, the film revisits 1953 in Guyana, the year of the first elections under British colonial rule, and the violence that followed. Poems by Martin Carter carry it through poetry, archival material and interviews. A landmark of anticolonial cinema, it was banned in Guyana and has rarely been shown since.
Collective member and filmmaker Ray Kril distributed the film in Holland and Europe after its release in the early 1980s. We’ll screen it from a digital file made from a release print at the Cineteca Nacional de Chile in 2023, ahead of its screenings at FICValidivia.
A film by the Victor Jara Collective: Rupert Roopnaraine, Ray Kril, Susumu Tokunow and Lewanne Jones.
Entry is on a donation basis. For further interest in the film, get in touch with Lewanne Jones of the Victor Jara Collective.
