SOLO (2023)

*This film screening is a free event.

Theater Rotterdam loves cinema just like us! Especially when created by local talents. Every month we present a Short Film with Q&A. The second film we’re going to present is SOLO, directed by a local filmmaker Vincent Boy Kars. This event is held on Friday October 18.

About the film

SOLO is a music film by artist SUBFICTION, director Vincent Boy Kars and choreographer Dalton Jansen. It portrays two Rotterdam roommates who live together but are completely out of sync. When they start to dance to the pulsating score, they can finally escape their draining daily routine.

The project is a co-production between Narrative Identity Records and mint2. Narrative Identity Records is a Rotterdam-based label that specializes in soundtracks and narrative-driven music – a collaboration between filmmaker Vincent Boy Kars and composer Beau Zwart. SOLO premiered at International Film Festival Rotterdam 2023.

The filmmaker

Since graduating from the AKV St. Joost Academy in 2015, Vincent Boy KARS (1990, Netherlands) has made a name for himself as a documentary director who investigates identity, self-image and sexuality. He often examines these topics in the context of the digital age. Kars aims to challenge and play with the format of the documentary film, flirting with the borders between fiction and reality. He made three hybrid features Independent Boy (2017), Drama Girl (2020) and Future Me (2024).
