Made in China Festival Day

Join us at 13:00 in the main hall for a selection of short films, and discover many more playing all day long in the cosy attic.

To understand China today, one must listen to its past: Sunzi’s philosophy as a guide to a complex world power. The Art of War connected to today’s global context and underlines the importance of understanding Chinese leadership, culture, and strategy through the lens of classical philosophy.

Contemporary China leaves no one indifferent. From technological breakthroughs to geopolitical tensions, from economic ambitions to cultural misunderstandings—the coverage is everywhere, yet nuanced interpretation remains scarce.

Immerse yourself in an unforgettable 360° experience all day long!

Watch and listen to recitals by the poets Shang Ch'in, Wang Jiaxin and Chen Yuhong from China and Taiwan, with commentary by translator Silvia Marijnissen.
