My Neighbor Totoro (1988) at Pllek (Amsterdam Noord, NDSM Wharf)

The world, today. After more than ninety years at the centre of global affairs, the Dalai Lama (Tenzin Gyatso) speaks directly to the viewer, as if you are having a personal conversation with the world’s most renowned ambassador of compassion. Drawing on never-before-seen archival footage, he looks back on his childhood in Tibet, his flight from the Chinese occupation and a life in exile, but above all, he shares his timeless wisdom on inner peace, mindfulness and building a happier world. In what may well be his final film appearance, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate shows that the capacity for happiness lies not outside us, but within. This remarkable documentary was produced under the guidance of Richard Gere and Oren Moverman.

Splitsville (2025) at Pllek (Amsterdam Noord, NDSM Wharf)

A suburban corner of the U.S., present day. Ashley (Adria Arjona) is utterly fed up with her marriage to well-meaning nice guy Carey (Kyle Marvin) and suddenly announces she wants a divorce. Shocked and nursing a badly bruised ego, Carey flees to the home of his best friends Julie (Dakota Johnson) and Paul (Michael Angelo Covino), who offer him an unusual recipe for happiness: their open marriage. What starts as well-intentioned relationship therapy quickly turns into a wild roller coaster of jealousy, desire and painfully honest conversations, where friendship and love become hopelessly entangled. Beneath the jokes, awkward encounters and late‐night adventures lies a sharp and painfully recognizable portrait of modern relationships, in which everyone thinks they know what freedom is; until their own heart is on the line.
