It’s BESTSELLER BOY time! This series is the first Dutch production of CBS Studios, together with Willy Waltz International - the production company of Norbert ter Hall and Robert Alberdingk Thijm - in coproduction with Avrotros and association with Paper Plane Productions. Bestseller Boy is based on the novel of the same name by Mano Bouzamour and can be seen at NPO 3 from 27 November. The team behind this series gave us many, many joys, such as DE BELOFTE VAN PISA, A'DAM - E.V.A. (and more). So of course, we are beyond excited!

Women on a Roll

Alma Tabernero | Documentary | 19’00’’

Women on a Roll is a short documentary that travels through the past, the present and the future of the roller skating culture in the city of Amsterdam through the eyes of women skating at iconic places in the community. In a cinematic style, we explore the feeling that women experience while practising this urban sport and how the public spaces have been redefined to accommodate this reviving trend.

Cage
Cage

Rumi Kaul | Live-Action | 07’12’’

Omar (13) spends every day in a soccer cage with the boys in his neighbourhood. His group of friends is close, but they are also hard on each other. They constantly challenge each other, and vulnerability is constantly punished. One day Omar's younger brother Abdul wants to join them. At first, he is laughed at, but over the course of the day, Omar sees his sweet little brother change. He is shocked by Abdul's sudden aggression and tries to get him out of the cage. At the same time, he also begins to doubt the behaviour of his friends.
