Thursday April 23, 2026, Benefit voku for Casa Zemstvei with a documentary screening “Consider a Tomato” by Marina Sulima * 2025 * 74 minutes * Romanian, Dutch, English with English Subtitles,

We will be hosting a voku to raise funds for Casa Zemstvei, an independent cultural space in Moldova which is being forced to relocate due to the government plans to renovate the building and turn it into a museum. We will be serving delicious Moldovan food, and then we will screen “Consider a Tomato”, which tracks the story of a tomato from Moldova to the Netherlands.
Synopsis: In this documentary, director Marina Sulima follows the journey of a single tomato, tracing its path from her mother’s kitchen in Moldova to the high-tech greenhouses of the Netherlands. Guided by a family recipe manuscript, she uncovers the lives and labour entwined with these tomatoes – connecting home kitchens, Moldovan fields, and industrial production lines. Crafted with care and a deeply personal perspective, the film mirrors the way tomatoes were once tended by hand. Through one humble fruit, this poignant, inquisitive, and richly observational documentary invites viewers to rethink the choices we make about what we eat, how it reaches our tables, and what the future of food might hold.

What’s going on in Chile? Sunday 1srt March

By: moxi - February 27th, 2020  Filed under: Benefiet, Filmavond, Infoavond, Poster archive

Anarchist Group Amsterdam and Joe’s Garage collective are organizing two events in Amsterdam in solidarity with protests in Chile.

Chile is one of the wealthiest and unequal countries in Latin America at the same time. 1% of the population in Chile controls 26.5% of the country’s wealth, while 50% of low-income households access 2.1%.
Despite this fact, in October 2019 the Chilean government decided to increase public transport fares by 4% ignoring its social significance. It led to the protests and the biggest civil unrest having occurred in Chile since the end of Augusto Pinochet’s military dictatorship. People’s demands quickly grew from keeping public transport fares to more broad anti-neoliberal claims. The government replied with Excessive use of force. As of 26 October, 19 people have died, nearly 2,500 have been injured, and 2,840 have been arrested. Human rights organizations have received several reports of violations conducted against protesters, including torture, sexual abuse, and rape. According to Amnesty International, “the intention of the Chilean security forces is clear: to injure demonstrators in order to discourage protest.”. In fact, they didn’t succeed and protests are still happening until the present day.

Saturday, February 22, 18:00, Bollox, Eerste Schinkel­straat 14-16, Amsterdam – info talk from Chile/Belgian collective
