BEST MOVIE AWARD
Moffenmeid awarded Best Movie in Montreal, Canada
Moffenmeid (La Tondue) by Raymon Hilkman has been awarded BEST MOVIE at the ‘International festival du film d’histoire’ in Montréal, Canada!!
The jury described Moffenmeid this way:
Served by the finesse of the actors’ play as well as by a subtle soundtrack, the film shifts the tension of this tragic moment in history by questioning the tearing of a mother and her daughter, humiliated by the inhabitants of the neighborhood for having linked up with a German soldier during the Second World War. For the originality of its point of view, as well as for its sobriety and the efficiency of silences, the award for best short film is awarded to La Tondue (Moffenmeid) by Raymon Hilkman (Netherlands)

"Let me be real - you might have seen it already, but this concert was a very special one for me. Besides the fact that I had the honour to perform with a fantastic orchestra and had the honour to celebrate 75 years of freedom, I ALSO had the honour to sing wonderful, powerful, songs. Among others ‘Girl in 14G’ by Jeanine Tesori and Dick Scanlan and ‘Earthsong’ by one of my biggest inspiration of all time; Michael Jackson. I am freeeaaky proud of what we’ve been showing you that night- love for the music and even more love for the story behind it. "

Dear all,
One in three women will be raped or beaten in her lifetime. That must change.

Now, 8 years later, it has grown into a worldwide movement with many powerful women and men who support the motto “Strike, Dance, Rise”.

I have the honour of performing that day with a fantastic dance crew behind me. Will you dance with us?

TITANIC
Annabel van Casteren als 'Mrs. Fleet' in de musical 'TITANIC'
De onzinkbaar geachte Titanic droeg de onbegrensde dromen van honderden mensenlevens in zich en was het symbool van een nieuw tijdperk van grenzeloze vooruitgang. Haar tragische ondergang in de vroege uren van 15 april 1912, was een waarschuwing voor overmoed en zette de mensheid weer met beide benen op de grond. Maar niet voor lang…
De tweede- en derdejaars studenten van Fontys Conservatorium voor Muziektheater brengen samen met regisseur Paul Eenens hun eigenzinnige interpretatie van deze indrukwekkende musical van Peter Stone en Maury Yeston.
23 t/m 26 juni 2017 om 20:15 te zien in Theaters Tilburg.
