The Q&A (not the film!) will be live streamed on FB: https://www.facebook.com/unrestfilmNL
(in case someone isn't seeing the preview I've linked to: you can find the Unrest NL page on FB through search word "unrestfilmNL" ETA: looks like it's just the link this time!)

David Tuller and Charles Shepherd will hold their talk in English, and I think they will speak first. Dr Van Campen will probably only speak Dutch. Expected to start at 20:10/8:10 pm (expected to end around 21:00/9pm).

ETA: times are Dutch time, in the UK this would be 7:10 to 8:00.

Thanks for posting that, @Effi - I'll give the livestreaming its own thread so that people realise, and I'll add it to the calendar.

Thank you @Sasha! (And thank you for calculating the UK time - I forgot about that!)

ETA I'll edit UK time into my post above

Hi everyone. Some clarification:
I asked Dr. van Campen to give her talk in English this time but her presentation slides are expected to be in Dutch. She will talk first. Then Tuller, then Shepherd. Then Q&A. Expected to start at 20:10/8:10 pm (expected to end around 21:00/9pm) - Dutch time which. 8:10 pm is 7:10 pm UK time. Official end time of 9pm (8 pm UK time) is correct, but we will probably run over.
