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.

Monday March 30, 2026, Benefit voku for Prosfygika, bluegrass folk live with Sherman Potatoe en Thijs Vrolijk. Vegan food from 19:00, no reservation. Music on the stage from 20:30. Free entrance, donations more than welcome.
We’ll off course update you about the current situation at Prosfygika and in Athens. We’ll also have live music on the stage with two solo acts touring soup kitchens around the Netherlands. Get ready for Sherman potatoe (Blue Grass hillbilly folk, Hannover https://shermanpotatoe.bandcamp.com ) and Thijs Vrolijk (Americana Blue Grass, Groningen).
The neighborhood of Prosfygika was built in 1933 to accommodate refugees from Asia Minor. A lively neighborhood with community characteristics was established, consisting mostly of working class people. In 1944, the anti-fascist partisans used Prosfygika as a shelter against the Greek and British state army. After years of abandonment, Prosfygika has been increasingly reclaiming its original purpose as many refugees, migrants, poor, Greek and foreigner working class people have sought to resolve their need for housing by squatting the empty flats. Today, it is one of the largest building complexes in the center of Athens, which has not yet accepted the gentrification and exploitation that comes from big capital and the state apparatus. During the last decade, there were fourth attempts to evict and plunder the squatted neighborhood. In 2026, Prosfygika is more than ever under the threat of repression and eviction, the State not hiding any more its intention to take over Prosfygika, evicting a few hundreds of people.
Hands off Prosfygika! The Community of Squatted Prosfygika will not let Mitsotakis and his gang of thieves destroy such a monumental neighborhood. The whole movement is already mobilized and has announced fierce resistance.

This Jungo Life, a film by David Fedele and the Jungo of Rabat * 2024 * 78 minutes * with English subtitles. Door opens at 20:00 * intro & film start at 20:30 * free entrance
This Jungo Life is a collaboration between filmmaker David Fedele, and a group of young refugees and asylum seekers from Sudan and South Sudan, who are living and sleeping rough on the streets of Morocco. They call themselves “Jungo” – A name traditionally given to seasonal agricultural workers from Sudan, which is now also adopted by refugees, asylum seekers and migrants on the road. Most have arrived in Morocco since 2020, forced to flee violence and instability in Libya, and unable to return home due to ongoing war and conflict. They are drawn to the capital city of Rabat, seeking to claim asylum with the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) and be granted refugee status. Most also dream of entering Europe, crossing the heavily militarised fences into the Spanish cities of Sebta (Ceuta) or Melilla, European enclaves on the African continent. This Jungo Life seeks to tell their story from the inside …. unfiltered, with authenticity and without sensationalism. A story of resilience in the face of suffering.
Synopsis – This Jungo Life takes us inside the lives of young refugees and asylum seekers from Sudan, living on the streets of Morocco. This Jungo Life takes us deep inside the hidden lives of young refugees and asylum seekers from Sudan and South Sudan, living and sleeping rough on the streets of Morocco; forced to flee violence and instability in Libya, and unable to return home due to ongoing war and conflict. Produced in collaboration with the refugees themselves, and filmed entirely using mobile phones, this film offers unique and intimate access, providing a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the human spirit and innate drive for survival, as they fight for a better life for themselves and the families they left behind.
This Jungo Life is filmmaker David Fedele’s third in a trilogy of films exploring issues related to refugees, asylum seekers and migration between the African and European continents. Like all of David’s previous films, This Jungo Life has been independently produced and self-funded, outside the system of conventional film production and funding.

Thursday March 6, 2025, 10 years No Border Kitchen Lesvos Benefit. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.
No Border Kitchen Lesvos urgently needs funds to support people on the move against various systems of systematic and legal repression, ever-continuing push-backs etc. They (NBK Lesvos) help by offering meals, legal aid, housing (they have several houses for refugees), documentation and reporting on push-backs and the situation at the European borders. NBK continued their work continuously already for 10 years this year relying mostly on mutual aid and solidarity from groups, collectives and individuals. So let’s support them!! Some more info about No Border Kitchen Lesvos: “Through a praxis based on mutual aid and solidarity, we take a stand against border policies and the suffering they are causing.
Alongside providing basic needs, we are trying to offer a viable alternative to the way travelers are treated by mainstream NGO’s, governments, and local authorities, which is often characterised by condescension, coupled with a dehumanising and infantilising attitude. We also monitor and publish information about the ever-changing situation on Lesvos, to put the situation back into focus and to be able to maintain a flexible and responsive organisational structure.” […Lees verder]
