18:30 Doors 19:00 Blow Out (1981)

Together with Heat, an Agency that represents filmmakers, we present a bi-monthly movie night curated by their wide array of passioned creators, designed for everyone looking to connect and be inspired. Every edition will center around a unique host and their inspiring guests; they’ll select a main film that showcases what they are all about and motivates them within their creative field. And they will take you on a two-hour journey into their vision.

This edition is hosted by Bear Damen, with Brian de Palma's 'Blow Out' from 1981 as the main film. In this mystery thriller John Trovolta plays the main character Jack, a sound engineer for B-movies, who is outside recording sounds for his movies one evening, when he witnesses a car end up in the water. Jack manages to save one of the occupants, Sally. When it turns out that the deceased driver of the car was an important senator, Jack is put under pressure to forget everything. Jack, who as a sound expert knows for sure that he heard a gunshot before the fatal accident, embarks on an obsessive search for the true nature of the so-called accident.

Before the film Bear will show his own new short film Synthesize Me (14'). In this short coming-of-age film, teenager Violeta finds a way to revive her deceased mother’s synth equipment. The consequences for her, the city and her father are surprisingly drastic.

Melkweg often hosts different types of programmes at the same time, such as concerts, club nights and films. Please note that there may occasionally be some noise pollution from other programmes during the screening.
