After last year's success of full rooms, beautiful films and interesting conversations, we are bringing the Film & Discourse Program back to Le Guess Who?. We are excited to present our full program and the partners we created it with.
Film Program
This year, Le Guess Who? once again collaborates with IDFA (International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam, happening 8-19 November), one of the world's leading documentary events. IDFA believes in the power of documentary film as a high-quality, artistic form of information and reflection.
We’re presenting a film program on Friday, 10 November & Saturday, 11 November. This program will be screened at Slachtstraat Filmtheater, which you can attend with a festival wristband.
