Invitation: Premiere and panel talk Another One Opens - fully improvised feature film.

On Sunday, April 26, the Dutch premiere of Another One Opens, a fully improvised feature film, will take place. Following the screening, a panel talk will be held with director Jim Libby and several media professionals about the role of improvisation in film and television.

The award-winning drama film was created by the Viennese improvisational theater group English Lovers and tells the story of five old, estranged school friends who are reunited after 20 years during a weekend at a remote and mysterious country house. In the course of their happy, though somewhat awkward, reunion, they slowly discover how each of them is trapped in a life that pales in comparison to the life they had envisioned for themselves—and for each other. Before the weekend is over, everyone will have to learn that sometimes you have to close one door before another opens.

The film was created without a script, making use solely of the unique storytelling experience of the English Lovers. Improvisation actors who have literally improvised thousands of stories for enthusiastic audiences.

Following this is a panel talk on the role of improvisation in film and television. During this panel, director and actor Jim Libby will engage in a conversation with, among others, Ben Silburn (Sony Award winner and host of BBC World) and Jon Rosenfeld (nominated for an Emmy Award for his work on Saturday Night Live).
