Cyborgs and robots gone haywire? Or the ideal of the perfect human in a perfect world?

Hollywood films, television series and Art House cinema all too often like to focus on the relationship between man and machine. In September and October you´ll be able to view examples of this on a weekly basis at Impakt Headquarters. Look forward to a multi-faceted program consisting of exciting and relevant film productions and series.

Our first Film Club starts at 23 September. First film is I, Robot, with an introduction of Imar de Vries. This will include an in-depth introduction, some conversation afterward and the possibility to order a pizza.

Sign up for the Film Club and send an e-mail to soma@old.impakt.nl

Impakt Film Club will start every Tuesday in September and October at 18.00hrs and has a 4 euro fee. When you attend all 5 Film Club screenings, the price will be reduced to 12 euro’s.

Do you want to join us for pizza, please let us know in your email to soma@old.impakt.nl (and don’t forget to bring cash).
