Between November 9 and 13, eleven Surinamese documentaries will be screened during the Makandra Film Festival at Pathé Arena in Amsterdam. The films were made within Doculab '10 voor 50', a three-year learning program initiated by The Back Lot in 2023 with support from the Netherlands Film Fund. Following a premiere in Suriname, Gusto Entertainment is now bringing the festival to the Netherlands for the first time. The filmmakers will be present at every screening for a post-screening discussion. The program includes five themed evenings featuring film, music, and Surinamese cuisine. After Amsterdam, the festival will tour cinemas and film theaters throughout the Netherlands.
