This is not completely true. Those films that will be released in Holland
sometime later in the year often have Dutch subtitles, but in the case of
the Japanese films showing at next year's edition I guess only Takeshi's new
film already found a Dutch distributor. Anyhow, just check the programme
beforehand. It clearly says what language the subtitles are in, so you will
not find yourself enjoying an unvoluntarily lesson in Dutch.
