Held weekly at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, RVFC is a student-run film screening initiative interested in inviting and supporting the programming of curated film nights by any and all.
November 2025 screenings:
Monday, November 3rd, 18:00 at the Rietveld action stairs.
The Fire Within: A Requiem for Katia and Maurice Krafft (2022),
Werner Herzog.
Curated by Tim.
Filmmaker Werner Herzog combs through the film archives of married volcanologists Katia and Maurice Krafft who perished during the 1991 Mount Unzen eruption; leaving behind 200 hours of footage from which Herzog creates a visually stunning tribute that celebrates their legacy.
Monday, November 10th, 19:00 at the Rietveld action stairs.
Gemini (1999),
Shinya Tsukamoto.
Curated by Alyssa.
The film is loosely based on a story by Edogawa Ranpo, a very popular writer especially among the art-house and horror crowd, his influence being heavily noticeable from movies like Horrors of Malformed Men and the art-house anthology of movies Rampo Noir / Ranpo Jigoku.
This story attempts to dive into the animalistic side of man, exploring themes of classism, narcissism, mental and physical degradation, civilization and many more.
note: we will start an hour later than usual, see you at 19:00!
Monday, November 17th, 18:00 at the Rietveld action stairs.
Daylight (Unreleased), + Talk and Feedback session with Aodh Heisterkamp.
Aodh Heisterkamp.
Invited by Cam & Italo.
As good civic architecture, the Facilities must be welcoming and inclusive, serving all regardless of ability, race, creed, or gender.
Observing the demolition of the Tombs in Manhattan to make way for the fifth iteration of a jail on the site, Daylight archives how “justice” architects approach new jail construction projects.
This screening will be followed by a talk and feedback session with the director.
Wednesday, November 26th, 18:00 at the Rietveld action stairs.
House (1977),
Nobuhiko Obayashi.
Curated by Tonya & Aleksi.
In the heart of a violet forest, an old house awaits young girls.
Hoping to find a sense of connection to her late mother, Gorgeous takes a trip with her friends to visit her aunt’s ancestral house in the countryside. The girls soon discover that there is more to the old house than meets the eye.
