Monday 28 august 2023, Voku Benefit for Medical Costs by BIPOC Anarchist Team. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

A Saudi member of the LGBTQ community is in urgent need of medical help and therefor funds. She cannot work or access healthcare until her asylum application is finalised, which is no guarantee and can take over two years. She can no longer chew, and to be faced with the prospect of losing her teeth in her mid 20’s has massive health implications. The voku on this night will go towards her medical needs. Here is also a link to her Go Fund Me for donations. The government authorities are doing anything they can to shirk the responsibility they have. Event organized by BIPOC Anarchist Team.

Voku for Roma Community in Slovakia – Performance by Your Local Pirates!

Monday 21 august 2023, Voku for Roma Community in Slovakia Whose Village Has Burnt Down. Performance by Your Local Pirates! Food served from 7pm, no reservation. Music from 8:30pm.

We kindly ask you for your support of more than 70 Roma people in Telgárt, Slovakia, whose housing burnt down this July. These people were already living in slums, often without water or electricity and have no means to recover on their own. They are now living in tents with very few possessions.
As Roma people are the most marginalized community in Slovakia, this tragedy was given little to no attention in media, nor on any crowdfunding platform.
We would like to donate the money to the crowdfunding call of the Telgárt municipality that is currently providing them with tents, food, clothes, hygienic products and other essentials.

We will have a yummy and filling vegan dinner. After, there will be a performance by Your Local Pirates! You can check out their website here: https://yourlocalpirates.noblogs.org

Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema: Zahrada (Martin Sulik, 1995)

By: börek - August 3rd, 2023  Filed under: Filmavond

Sunday 20 august 2023, Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema: ZAHRADA * The Garden * 1995 * Directed by Martin Sulik * 99 minutes * In Slovak with English subtitles * Doors open at 20:30, intro & film start at 21:00.

Wow, here is a very special film which is hardly ever screened, despite the fact that it was a multiple award-winner when it came out. The kind of magical film that many people feel the urge to see it over and over again….. Zahrada is deeply loved in its home country, and its a wonderful example of magic realism in contemporary cinema.

The main character’s life in this film has reached a dead-end. He decides to leave his job, and then gets into a fight with his father. The trouble is compounded by his affair with a married woman. An affair that doesn’t make him happy. Breaking out, he escapes from his previous world to retreat to a small country house in the countryside which had been his grandfather’s garden. There he finds his life transforming through the powers of nature.

Some people have called this film a comedy, but its humor works on such a subtle level that it can’t be compared to the blunt comedies from Hollywood, for example. It’s ingenuous, transcendent and spellbinding. It gives you the feeling of entering a new dimension where the distinction between reality and fiction gradually vanishes. The pace of the film is unrushed and almost dreamlike, slowly unfolding in totally unexpected directions.

One viewer’s comment:

“The powerful images of the mystical garden are dream-like, but also very real. It takes you to a place where you feel it touches your innermost wishes of tranquillity and peace. A dream within a dream, a fantasy that becomes reality. Let this movie take you to a place you never imagined existed…..and enjoy the ride.”

Benefit voku No Border Camp 2023

By: börek - August 3rd, 2023  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Monday 7 august 2023, Benefit voku No Border Camp 2023. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

A No Border Camp is announced in the Netherlands from 21 till 27 august 2023: “This summer, somewhere in the Dutch-occupied territories, the fifth edition of No Border Camp will take place. It will be a week full of actions, workshops and discussions around the topic of migration, its repression and its liberation.
As the name of the camp suggests, we dream of a world without borders. A world in which everyone is able to move freely, without risk of detention, deportation or exploitation. A world without Frontex. But we won’t let these dreams be limited to our imagination. We fully intend on realising these dreams in the here and now, unapologetically, together. This means exploring intersecting areas of struggle like climate justice, anti-racism and anti-militarism, and strengthening the connections between them. And between us. Because solidarity is our weapon.
We hope to bring the undocumented and documented together to exchange knowledge, share stories, forge connections and build a strong, collective resistance to borders everywhere.
The location will be announced shortly before the start of the event.
Do you have ideas for workshops or actions? Want to help organise?

Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema: The Favourites of the Moon (Otar Iosseliani, 1984)

By: börek - August 3rd, 2023  Filed under: Filmavond

Sunday 6 august 2023, Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema: FAVORITES OF THE MOON * 1984 * (Les favoris de la lune) * Directed by Otar Iosseliani * 101 minutes * In French with English subtitles * Doors open at 20:30, intro & film start at 21:00.

Director Otar Iosseliani made films in his homeland of Georgia, under Soviet rule back in the 60s. He eventually moved to France and continued to unleash his unique vision of cinema, carrying over his own Georgian humor and crafted surrealism into a French setting.

This movie is largely visual, and consists of a long string of seeming random situations that occur throughout Paris. In the course of the film we follow a patchwork of scenarios that range from the chic high-art world to tramps living on the street to the dark underworld of terrorists. The link between them all are two objects… an 18th-century chinaware set, and a 19th-century nude portrait. The director himself called this elliptical journey “an abstract comedy” and indeed it is a movie that speaks to the imagination rather than stereotyped storytelling. This is an example of free cinema, where anything can happen. It takes its title from Shakespeare’s description of thieves: “Diana’s foresters, gentlemen of the shade, favorites of the moon.”

Since it drifts in and out of so many lives and events, and because of its beautifully kaleidoscopic story line, this particular movie has often been compared to Luis Buñuel, Jacques Tati and Robert Altman. And because of its openness, it can be watched as either a wild trip, or as a commentary on the senselessness of our modern society that respects objects more than life itself. This film was winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 41st Venice International Film Festival. Starring Mathieu Amalric.

This will be a high-definition screening.
