On Tour, Utrecht | Milcho Manchevski’s Willow | 25.10.22.

What a night in Utrecht! The Eastern Neighbours Film Festival’s On Tour screening was sold out again! Everyone who came to see the movie Willow by Milcho Manchevski was amazed by the performance of our guest, the North Macedonian actress Natalija Teodosieva, who is in the Netherlands for the first time.

After the screening, the visitors stood in line, waiting to take a photo with our guest Natalija. Thank you for coming, enjoying this truly wonderful film, showing interest, and showering us with questions. We hope you enjoyed our cocktails and Balkan snacks. Big thanks to Louis Hartlooper Complex, we look forward to every return to Utrecht!
