The Last Take: Robert Redford
Sophie Jansen, Head of Programming at Filmhuis Den Haag:
"Robert Redford was a towering figure who, as an actor, filmmaker, and founder of the Sundance Festival, left his mark on the film world and far beyond. He consistently championed progressive movements, press freedom, and voices that needed to be heard. With Sundance, he created a remarkable platform for American independent cinema.
In The Last Take, we pay final tribute to Redford as an actor and—let’s not forget—as a striking screen presence. From his rich body of work, we have selected his breakthrough film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, the still highly relevant All the President’s Men, and the more recent gem The Old Man and the Gun."
The Last Take: Claudia Cardinale
Sophie Jansen, Head of Programming at Filmhuis Den Haag:
''On 23 September, Claudia Cardinale, one of the greats of cinema in Italy and far beyond, passed away. Cardinale often shone on our silver screen and therefore now, of course, also in The Last Take. Filmhuis Den Haag pays tribute to her with a special screening of 'Il Gattopardo', in which Cardinale shines as the young Angelica. A wonderful opportunity to see her one more time on the big screen, in the film that made her an icon.''
