VERA Filmquiz
+ Experimental Christmas Shorts
Ladislas Starevich, Peter Tscherkassky, Jeff Scher | RU, AT, US | 1913, 1996, 2010
It’s that time of the year again: our annual film quiz! Come get in the holiday spirit with us by testing your film knowledge in a full-on Christmas setting. Oh, the joy! The mulled wine stands ready, but are you?
We wouldn’t be Zienema if we didn’t treat you to a little film or two (three in fact!) before the quizzing commences. We have an extra short, extra special Christmas screening waiting for you to get you into the holiday spirit. Three shorts from different eras that each look at the Holiday season through a different lens: The Insect’s Christmas by Ladislas Starevich is a cute yet strange animation from over a century ago. Getting Ready for Christmas Day by Jeff Scher is originally a music video to Paul Simon’s socially critical lyrics in Scher’s recognizable animation style. Happy-End by Peter Tscherkassky is an abstract film using found footage to explore the rituals of suburban Christmas. See you there!

Please mind: the quiz will be played in teams of two to five people.
