GAME CHANGERS
Every third Monday of the month, Natlab presents GAME CHANGERS. On this evening, an iconic film classic is screened, preceded by a masterclass from film lecturer Twan Arts. In this masterclass, you'll discover what makes the selected film a true game changer.

THE CONVERSATION
The Conversation earned Coppola his second Palme d'Or and was nominated for three Oscars. The film was made shortly after the Watergate scandal, with Gene Hackman portraying a surveillance expert who is hired for dirty, often political jobs. Leading a lonely and tragic life, things change when he becomes personally involved in a case. This unsettling story hits the mark on critical issues like privacy and personal responsibility.
