MEMORY releases in Dutch cinemas on July 16th.

Excited to announce that MEMORY, the award-winning documentary by filmmaker Vladlena Sandu, releases in Dutch cinemas on July 16th.

This visually extraordinary film reconstructs Sandu’s childhood memories of displacement and war through an innovative blend of toy theater reconstructions, surreal tableaux, and autobiographical narrative. What emerges is a poignant meditation on trauma, memory, and resilience—asking how we can break generational cycles of violence.

The film has earned recognition across major international film festivals, including: ✓ People’s Choice Award (Giornate Degli Autori, Venice) ✓ Jury Prize (Marrakech International Film Festival) ✓ Best Screenplay Award (Athens International Film Festival)

A profoundly moving cinematic experience that resonates globally.
