The Amsterdam Tromathon: March 20 - 21, 2010
On March 20 and 21, 2010, a film festival with films from the (in)famous filmcompany Troma will come to Amsterdam: The Amsterdam Tromathon!
In addition to the screening of seven Troma movies there will also be a special program on Troma president Lloyd Kaufman, who will be guest of honor of the festival. This legendary filmmaker and co-founder of Troma will introduce films, participate in Q&A's and have signing sessions. But that's not all: he will also present the master class Make Your Own Damn Movie! which has become a success worldwide. Furthermore, Troma merchandise will be sold at both venues.
The Amsterdam Tromathon, March 20 and 21, 2010, EYE Film Institute Netherlands (Vondelpark 3, Amsterdam) and Cinema OT301 (Overtoom 301, Amsterdam).
Since its foundation in 1974, the studio has reached an absolute cult status with titles of great reputation such as Class of Nuke ‘em High (1986), Surf Nazis Must Die (1987), Tromeo & Juliet (1996) en Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead (2006). The absolute classic The Toxic Avenger from 1984 was a major breakthrough and made the company's movies popular among a large audience. Troma also stood at the cradle of the career of A-list actors like Kevin Costner, Samuel L. Jackson, Billy Bob Thornton, Marisa Tomei and Vincent D'Onofrio. Renowned filmmakers like Oliver Stone, Eli Roth and James Gunn once worked for Troma as well.
On Saturday March 20, Lloyd Kaufman will present the master class Make Your Own Damn Movie!, for which no admission will be charged. In the timeframe of one and half hour, he will share his more than three decades of experience with the audience. Step-by-step, he will discuss the process of making an independent movie.
Lloyd Kaufman will personally introduce most of the films and each day will participate in a Q&A. The language used is English; all films are screened without subtitles. One of the Q&A's will be hosted by Australian actress Vanessa de Largie, who stars in the upcoming Troma release A Nocturne, a philosophical vampire drama by Australian visionary indie filmmaker Bill Mousoulis.
During the festival, merchandise will be sold, but fans can also have their own paraphernalia signed.
