“The Story of Jenin” is a 65-minute documentary that tells the story of the camp and its residents since 2013, combining civilians’ daily lives with writings that reveal their ongoing suffering. The film takes us through the alleys, homes, and streets, showing their recent displacement, their waiting to return, and the mix of emotions longing, anger, and hope.
The film is a journey inside the camp, revealing life as it is truly lived there. It was produced over two years, in 2024 and 2025, while the story of Jenin is ongoing and gives an intimate, beautiful and personal look at daily struggles, fears, dreams, and moments of joy. Meanwhile, the community’s profound strength in the face of military violence and displacement comes through everywhere.

Shadow Game (Eefje Blankevoort, Els van Driel, 2021)

By: börek - July 14th, 2026  Filed under: Filmavond

Sunday July 26, 2026, movie night: Shadow Game (Eefje Blankevoort, Els van Driel, 2021), documentary with English subtitles. Door opens at 20:00, movie and presentation start at 20:30. Free entrance, donations welcome to support No Name Kitchen (NNK).

Everyday teenagers who have fled their war-torn countries try to cross Europe’s borders in search of protection and a better life. They travel through a shadow world we never see: a world of minefields, bears, fast-flowing rivers, smugglers and border guards. ‘The game’ is the bitterly ironic term for crossing borders that has become commonplace among these young refugees. Risking their lives, the teenagers undertake a treacherous journey that often takes months or even years. Along the way, they grow up fast. Shadow Game is a journey through the dark side of Europe with teenage refugees as our guides. Shadow Game is a transmedia project by Eefje Blankevoort and Els van Driel. It consists of a feature-length documentary, a web series, an adventure game and a photo series in collaboration with Cigdem Yuksel. Trailer of the movie: https://vimeo.com/514264176

The proceeds of this screening will go to No Name Kitchen (NNK), a grassroots organisation committed to defending the rights of people on the move across European border countries.
