Today from 17:00-20.00 hrs, HVL/BuzzHouse’s Co-Working Space will be used by the UvA Film Club for their weekly screening.

This week's film is Takeshi Koike's Redline (2009), with an introduction by Bogna Bochińska.

Fastening your seatbelts might not be enough to get out of this race in one piece. Redline is the most infamous and deadly intergalactic car race in the universe. The stakes are high, but the prize is even higher. Fame, money and prestige are worth to risk it all. In the midst of this crazy world of speed, aliens, shady business and secret military operations, the story focuses on an underdog, who above all just loves to race.

Koike’s Redline is a visual delight that gives you an adrenaline rush through pure aesthetic overstimulation. All hand drawn, it took 7 years to make, almost bringing down one of Japan's major animation studios at the time.
