SUMMARY:5 special screenings of "More than Babi Pangang"
DESCRIPTION:This documentary is an ode to the first generation of Chinese Dutch people who have built up an indispensable part of the Dutch street scene through hard work. The typical Chinese-Indonesian restaurant is in danger of disappearing from the Dutch street scene. This is also the case with the restaurant of the father of documentary filmmaker Julie Ng. In    More than Babi Pangang she dives into the success and decline of the Chinese-Indonesian restaurant. That search also leads her to unknown parts of her own Chinese background.  \nJulie Ng will be present at every film screening to answer questions from the audience and to talk to the Chinese elderly. Since its premiere in February\, this film has received a lot of attention in the Dutch media and has also received the Crystal Film Award. VNC previously conducted an extensive interview with Julie Ng about her film (https://www.vnc-china.nl/tien-jaar-filmen-een-lange-therapiesessie/).   \nThanks to our sponsors General Chinese Association in the Netherlands (ACVN)\, National Federation of Chinese Organizations in the Netherlands (LFCON) and Dutch China Trade and Economic Promotion Association (DCTEPA)\, VNC offers these special screenings with Chinese subtitles free of charge to members of VNC\, Chinese elderly organizations and the sponsors. For non-members we ask for a small contribution of 5 euros. Due to a limited number of places\, you must register in advance using the form below. After registration\, you will receive a confirmation for participation by e-mail. Since this film screening is mainly intended for Chinese elderly people or people who want to watch the documentary with them\, we ask friends/acquaintances to help them with the registration if necessary.     \nSign up on time\, because FULL = FULL!
