DESCRIPTION:FILM LECTURE: MY FILM IS VIETNAM\n\n\nHOW APOCALYPSE NOW SHAPED
	 OUR UNDERSTANDING OF WAR\n\nOn May 12th\, join us for a special lecture o
	n Apocalypse Now\, as Rutger van der\nHoeven explores how the film shaped 
	our understanding of war\, at a moment when\nthe current conflict with Ira
	n once again echoes the long shadow of America’s\ninvolvement in Vietnam.\
	n\nApocalypse Now is regarded by many as one of the most iconic war movies
	 of all\ntime. Yet the influence of Coppola’s masterpiece extends far beyo
	nd movie\nhistory. It is a product of a specific phase in America’s cultur
	al and political\nstruggle over the memory of the Vietnam War. While US co
	nsensus has settled on a\ndifferent reading\, Apocalypse Now has become th
	e most important reference point\nfor what war ‘really’ is – in American s
	ociety\, to a globalized audience\, and\neven in the US military itself.\n
	\nOver de spreker\n\nRutger van der Hoeven is a cultural historian at Utre
	cht University and a\nforeign editor at De Groene Amsterdammer. He has lec
	tured on the Vietnam War for\nmany tours of duty.\n\nPlease note that this
	 lecture will be presented in English. Tickets for the\nscreening of Apoca
