The basic aim of Tameio is to ensure decent living conditions for the imprisoned comrades through a process that would take place within the political movement; thereby taking the material dimension of solidarity a step beyond close family, friendly and comrade relationships, as well as to help with the immediate coverage of emergencies (such as court expenses and bails for the persecuted). Yet, the actions of practical solidarity and the building and development of communication bridges and united struggles between those inside prisons and those outside of it, remain as priorities of the people who form and sustain the structure.

Craig Sutton, the Flamenco Thief, plays Spanish acoustic guitar with a loop pedal to blend modern rhythms with time-honored Flamenco techniques. Western, Eastern and African rhythms has allowed him to connect and build long lasting friendships with people all over the world. He has entertained crowds in Turkish parks, German kitchens, Serbian living rooms, Dutch hospitals, French chapels and so many more wonderfully unique locations.

Machines in Flames: a secret history of self-destruction (Thomas Dekeyser, Andrew Culp, 2022)

By: börek - October 10th, 2022  Filed under: Filmavond

Sunday 16 October 2022, Movie night: Machines in Flames: a secret history of computational self-destruction (Thomas Dekeyser, Andrew Culp, 2022), 55 minutes. Movie in French with English subtitles. Doors open at 8:00 pm, film starts at 8:30 pm.

“A secret history of self-destruction by following the footsteps of a clandestine group of French computer workers from the 1980s”. Machines in Flames is a cinematic search for the elusive group CLODO (Comité Liquidant ou Détournant les Odinateurs), who bombed computer companies in 1980s Toulouse, France. Journeying through the cybernetic nodes of military, industrial, and socialist development, the film exposes how recording devices fail to collect the ashes of history. The film combines archival traces, a viral desktop choreography, and paranoid footage of nocturnal stakeouts into a philosophical investigation of self-combustion.
The film is the debut work of the Destructionist International, and the first in a series of films on the appetite for abolition in ultra-leftism. It was first distributed through a network of self-erasing USB data sticks dropped outside corporate campuses. https://machinesinflames.com/

Benefit Voku for reunification funds

By: börek - October 10th, 2022  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Monday 10 october 2022, Benefit Voku for reunification funds. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

The funds raised at the Voku will go towards the child reunification costs for a Harriet: a lesbian refugee from Uganda, a mother, and community organizer for queer people in forced displacement based in Amsterdam.
Harriet was at first rejected as her sexuality, and problems she faced as a result, was deemed “implausible” by the Immigration and Naturalisation Service of the Netherlands, and subsequently irregularized.
In the months following her irregularization Harriet amidst the COVID-19 pandemic went on to create and build a safe space and community with Phoenix, which has since become one of the largest self-led communities of/for LGBTQIA+ people in forced displacement in the Netherlands.
Earlier this year, Harriet was finally recognised as a refugee and is now trying bring her five children to the Netherlands from Uganda, after years of being separated. We will be present to explain about the current Dutch asylum system and ways people can help. Donations are very welcome.

Phoenix is a self-led community by and for LGBTQIA+ people in forced displacement, based in Amsterdam since July 2020. In Phoenix people can share their lived experiences and knowledge with one another, receive and offer their support and information related to the intersection of LGBTQIA+ and forced displacement.

We organise weekly meetings around peer support, empowerment, sexual self-expression, providing information about LGBTQIA+ health and legal rights, and developing our community further. Alongside group meetings and support, we also assist our members individually through social-legal counselling, service guidance, personal contact and recreational activities.

Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema: Vertical Ray of the Sun (Tran Anh Hung, 2000)

By: börek - October 9th, 2022  Filed under: Filmavond

Sunday 9 october 2022, Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema: Vertical Ray of the Sun * Mùa hè chiều thẳng đứng / À la verticale de l’été * 2000 * by Tran Anh Hung * 112 minutes * In Vietnamese with English subtitles. Doors open at 20:00, film starts at 20:30.

Most American movies these days have huge stories, and zero content. This movie is exactly the opposite, and in some ways is closer to European cinema of the 1960s. Here the story is minimal, but it is done in such a lush way. Even when it starts raining it feels like a shower of silver, not like the gloomy rainfalls here in Europe. To put it simply, poetry is still intact, and there is an engagement to the bigger picture of life, something lacking in more narrative driven movies. This is the kind of film you can sink into body and soul.

Although the film has a lush exotic mood, it doesn’t get carried away with its exoticism, and breaks the borders between East and West by bringing in elements of Western culture. For example, a Velvet Underground tune that pops up. The reason this diversity is possible is that the director grew up in Vietnam until he was 12, and then moved to France. So he has a double identity, and in his movies he brings together the best of both worlds.

On the surface it is about three sisters who meet in Hanoi over the course of a month on the anniversary after their parents’ deaths. In these encounters secrets about the past are revealed. But the real meat is the ultra-sensual mood, and its feeling of incredible harmony with the environment. it doesn’t have a conventional approach to narrative story telling… instead it’s more a mosaic of small intimate moments, and the power of images to communicate a sense of life.

Movie night: Politics in India – Environment, Gender, Human rights

By: börek - September 26th, 2022  Filed under: Filmavond

Sunday 2nd October 2022, Movie night: Politics in India – Environment, Gender, Human rights. Movies with English subtitles. Doors open at 8:00 pm, film starts at 8:30 pm. Films followed by discussion with film-makers.

Two short documentary films about people’s movements for environment and social justice in India.
‘Izzat ka Pani’ is a story about Abrar Salmani, a resident of an informal settlement in Mumbai. Salmani struggled for 10 years to access the city’s water network and secure his basic human right to water. His story illuminates a politics of discrimination that pushes people into a mindset of slavery to maintain power hierarchies. Salmani joined a citizen collective to dismantle the unjust laws denying him water.
The second film sits at the intersection of gender and environmental justice. How can we view nature through a lens of bounty and interconnection, instead of only seeing opportunity to extract resources? Women from India’s indigenous fishing communities ask such questions to protect the ecosystems on which their lives depend, while fighting against patriarchy at home and corporate power outside it.
