‘Silver Rosebud’ film award to Dana Linssen

Lecturer Dana Linssen of the ArtEZ School of Acting is the winner of the ‘Silver Rosebud’. This was announced this week at the Pathé Tuschinski cinema in Amsterdam during the New Year's reception of Film Distributors Netherlands and the Nederlandse Vereniging van Bioscopen en Filmtheaters (Dutch Association of Cinemas). Dana Linssen is a philosopher and film critic. In addition to her job as lecturer at ArtEZ, she is the editor-in-chief of the Filmkrant (Film Journal) and associated with the NRC newspaper as film journalist. Previously, in 2009, she won the Louis Hartlooper Award for Film Journalism.
According to the jury, which consisted of Winnie Sorgdrager, Michael Lambrechtsen and Sandra den Hamer, Linssen deserved to win the incentive prize because she manages to 'instantly infect the reader with her contagious love for film and philosophy. She follows her own path through the myriad of images around us and takes an unexpected corner'.
