Yes, you read it well: you are in the opportunity to have the new Paul Verhoeven, Martin Scorsese, Jane Campion, or Roman Polanski on your couch for a week.

How so?

The filmmakers that are selected to take part in the Cinestud competition, will be invited to the festival. This means that an international group of film talents will be present at Q&A’s, hanging around in the Kriterion café, and joining us in the festivities. You can be a part of this! Do you want to build on your network, or just spend some time with a young filmmaker from another country? Do you feel like showing someone around in the Amsterdam? Subscribe now, and offer your couch, your airbed, or perhaps your own bed. Think about filmmakers couchsurfing in your living room, your future, the most beautiful week of your life, and the passe-partout for the whole festival, that you get when you join in! Mail to: info@cinestud.nl, with ‘COUCH’ in the subject line.
