A film series will be held at the Community Center.

The third and final film in the series "Through (in, with) the eyes of a child" will be shown: Close by Lucas Dhont. This film afternoon will begin, as usual, with a short introduction by Philip Verdult, who worked as a philosopher at Radboud University Nijmegen until his retirement. The film will then be shown.

After the film, there will be a short break, followed by an interactive discussion led by Philip Verdult for those interested. The film screening will take place in the main hall of the Community Center in Lieshout.

In the 105-minute film, Remi and Leo have been inseparable from a young age. Their friendship is genuine, infectious, and disarming. But then comes a turning point. You see them cycling to their new high school, cheerful and uninhibited. But on one of their first days of school, one of their classmates asks, "Are you a couple?" This drives them apart emotionally, behaviorally, and in their further growth and development as adolescents and young adults. With dramatic consequences. This film addresses almost all aspects of life through, in, and with the eyes of a child, both positive and negative. The expressions often initially evoke associations such as innocence, open-mindedness, spontaneity, and limitless questioning. But children's perspectives can also be deeply clouded by prevailing prejudices, viewpoints, role models, and so on in society. However, this film delves much deeper than just homophobia and gender issues. That's precisely why it's so inspiring.
