To mark the archival presentation at M HKA (24 May - 7 September 2025), De Cinema will present a series of screenings that revive the spirit of art house King Kong.
From 1974 to 1982, the King Kong cultural centre in Antwerp was a vibrant meeting place where film, debate and activism converged. Alongside a broad selection of film classics and recent arthouse cinema, King Kong also offered a platform for socially engaged documentaries, feminist films, queer cinema and the revolutionary ‘Third Cinema’. With introductions, debates and various publications, the programme was ed by the association De Andere Film (DAF), which donated their rich archive to M HKA in 2023.
This archival presentation was compiled in collaboration with students of the Master's Theatre and Film Studies at the University of Antwerp.
