Today from 18:30-21.30 hrs, the UvA Film Club will host their next screening in PCH 1.05 (so not at BuzzHouse this week)! This week's film is Oema foe Sranan (Women of Suriname, At van Praag, 1978), in conversation with curator Luna Hupperetz and activist Kenneth Soeleman.

Women of Suriname (Oema foe Sranan) portrays the lives of four women who relate the history of Dutch (neo)colonialism in Suriname and racism and being disenfranchised in the Netherlands using personal stories. A wonderful portrait of the Zeitgeist of the tumultuous run up to independence and the period shortly after the Srefidensi in Suriname. New restoration. Oema foe Sranan was produced by Cineclub Vrijheidsfilms in cooperation with LOSON (National Consultation of Surinamese in the Netherlands) in the framework of political struggle, as a sign of solidarity between Surinamese and Dutch people who transfer a collective message about the socio-political situation in Surinam and the Surinamese community in the 1970s. The film centres on hoping for better days and liberation from foreign influence.
