Fanfare 2025 is a multi-channel installation that transposes the plot and cinematic language of Haanstra’s film to a contemporary setting, where the idealised post-war Netherlands is confronted by present-day anxieties. The fictional village of Lagerwiede — a symbol of idyllic, communal Netherlands — remains unchanged: canals, pastures and picturesque bridges — but now with home deliveries by boat and tourists paddling on stand-up boards into the sunset.

At the heart of the action is once again the local brass band, divided by absurd rivalries and reunited only by a shared mission: to win the annual competition. Through humour, repetition and anachronism, Fanfare 2025 questions who truly ‘wins’ in a polarised society, one submerged in promises of progress that were never meant for everyone.

Screening followed by talk with Priscila Fernandes and Andrew Snyder (researcher). Free entrance upon ticket pickup on the same day. Limited to two tickets per person.
