“How you doin?” We are Julian, Emma, Madelief and Benko, your AKT on Screen committee members for this year! We’ll be organizing lots of activities related to film, television and new media. Think of our annual film festival, screenings, pub quizzes, and many more. We hope to see you at one of our many upcoming AKTivities where you can join us enjoying the best and funniest movies/television series! Feel free to share your passion for all things ‘on Screen’ with us and all the other enthusiasts!

Hi! I’m Julian, I’m 19 years old, and I live in Barendrecht, just south of the fantastic city of Rotterdam. I’m currently in my first year of the Dutch track. I’m the chair, so I lead the committee and host the AKTivities. My favorite movie is Jojo Rabbit and my favorite series is Breaking Bad. My unpopular opinion: Cillian Murphy is the best actor right now and will remain so for the next 10 years. I hope to see you at one of the AKTivities of AKT on Screen this year, and please share your unpopular opinion!

Heyy, I am Madelief, I’m 22 years old, and I live in a small village just outside of Eindhoven in the south of the Netherlands! Right now I am in my first year of Media and Culture in the Dutch track. I love all sorts of media, so this was a perfect fit for me. I do all of the PR, so I create the posters and promotional material for our AKTivities. I have way too many favorite movies, but I will always call Hogwarts me second home. I can recite about 90% of the Harry Potter movies. For shows I once again love way too many, but a show I will always come back to is Gilmore Girls. My unpopular opinion is that Emily Blunt way more recognition deserves for her art. She is one of the most talented actors in recent Hollywood. Thank youuu for listening (reading) and I hope to see you at one of our AKTivities. 🙂

Hi, I am Benko van Aswegen and I’m a first-year Media & Culture student, and this year I will be the treasurer of AKT on Screen. My entire life, film has been my greatest passion, and every time I walk out of the movie theater I feel like a changed man. I am a director myself and hope to one day be one of the greats. Until then, I will bore everyone I know with the subtle nuances of the latest film I’ve seen that week.

Since I love everything to do with film, it’s impossible to pick my favourite films, but on Letterboxd they are: Parasite (2019), Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022), Absolutely (2021), and Across the Spider-Verse (2023). The directors that inspire me most are Bong Joon-ho, Park Chan-wook, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Wong Kar-wai.

I’m very excited for all the fun AKTivities we’ll be doing this year.

HeyHey! My name is Emma, and I am 21 years old. I live in the beautiful Nijkerk, which is close to Amersfoort. I am a first-year student in the Dutch track. This year I will be secretary for AKT on Screen. My favourite movie is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and my favourite series is Daisy Jones & the Six. My unpopular opinion is that Parasite wasn’t that groundbreaking and interesting as people make it out to be (sorry not sorry Benko!). I’m looking forward to seeing you guys at our Aktivities, we have a lot of fun things in mind!
