Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema: Our Daily Bread (King Vidor, 1934)

By: börek - August 5th, 2024  Filed under: Filmavond

Sunday August 11, 2024, Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema: OUR DAILY BREAD * 1934 * Directed by King Vidor * 80 minutes * In English * free screening * doors open at 8.30 * intro and film start at 9:00.

This is a pretty unusual film for when it was made, and actually it’s a pretty unusual movie to be made in America at any time. It presents us with a situation that we are increasingly becoming familiar with – lack of housing, food prices rising like crazy, and not being able to afford anymore to live in big cities. The story takes place in the 1930s during the great depression, a time when the bankers went too far with their wheeling, dealing and money grubbing, causing a disaster.

Our main characters are a couple who have no place to live anymore but are offered a worthless piece of land in the countryside. Their idea is to create their own Eden, but when faced with difficulties they realize that they are city people and have no idea how to do things like farming. The solution to the problem is by inviting other unemployed people to join them, and thereby creating a cooperative.

A film about collectivism and community and alternative societies, I think we are sadly missing these days. It’s been called an anti-cynical film and no matter what you think of it, its enthusiasm whips up a semi-socialist alternative that includes exchange of labor, sharing food, bartering and solidarity. All of this is presented as an alternative to the dog eat dog capitalism and monopolization that was tearing apart the country. Some viewers have even aptly compared it to the early Russian-Ukrainian movies Alexander Dovzhenko.

Film night at Joe’s Garage, cozy cinema! Free entrance. You want to screen a movie, let us know: joe [at] lists [dot] squat [dot] net

By: börek - July 28th, 2024  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Monday 29 july 2024, Voku & mobilization for the No Border Camp 2024. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

A No Border Camp 2024 will take place soon in the Netherlands, from August 21st till 25th. Location will be somewhere in the center of the Netherlands. From their website: “This year we are organizing another No Border Camp to take action, exchange knowledge and further build the movement. This concerns all aspects of the repressive migration policy in the Netherlands and Europe, such as border externalization and militarization, the exploitation of migrant workers, the situation in AZCs, detention and deportations, and the rise of the extreme right…”
There were various No Border camps held in the Netherlands these last years, in Wassenaar in 2019, in Rotterdam in 2022, in Groningen in 2023. A previous camp took place in Rotterdam in 2013. In July 2002 in Strasbourg, the No Border camp gathered around 3000 activists: http://www.noborder.org/strasbourg/

Voku benefit Woningsdag w/ live music: Lyngfarer and Ancient Hostility (anarcho folk)

By: börek - July 1st, 2024  Filed under: Benefiet, Muziek, Volkseten/Voku

Monday July 22, 2024, Voku benefit Woningsdag w/ live music: Lyngfarer and Ancient Hostility (anarcho folk). Food served from 7pm, no reservation. Music from 8pm.

The benefit money will go to the costs of Woningsdag, every year while the country celebrates Koningsdag we celebrate Woningsdag because the urgency to get everyone housing is more important than Monarchy. Last Woningsdag, on April 27, 2024, a building got squatted in the city center (Gravenstraat 26-28). We still have some unpaid costs and that’s why we have a benefit.

There will be live music performance as well with Lyngfarer and Ancient Hostility, the anarcho folk night from Joe’s this summer:
Lyngfarer https://lyngfarer.bandcamp.com/
“Lyngfarer is the quiet and pensive stuff that Magnus Nymo from Norway writes. It lives in the fog between medieval lore and anarchist dbeat classics but is quiet enough to be a lullaby. Magnus started performing as Lyngfarer in 2015 and has since then hung out and toured around Europe, Scandinavia, Ireland and the US and UK.”
Ancient Hostility (anarcho folk): “Harmony singing and drones from members of All In Vain and Dawn Ray’d, singing songs about heartbreak and resistance.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g27Bhsxzrvc […Lees verder]

Raising Radicals

By: börek - July 1st, 2024  Filed under: Meeting

Sunday July 21, 2024, Raising Radicals, maandelijks op een zondag om 12.00 in Joe’s Garage Amsterdam-Oost, tussen 12 en 14u! Wees allemaal zeer welkom zondag 16 juni in Joe’s Garage met kids! Geen Raising Radicals in Augustus.

Idee is een maandelijks ouder-kind-cafe maar dan een beetje anders. Misschien komt er af en toe een specifiek thema aan bod zoals; welke acties zijn veilig met kinderen en welke niet? Of misschien is er soms een leuke activiteit voor kids, of misschien is het gewoon al leuk genoeg om te kletsen met politieke activistische ouders en kunnen kids lekker met elkaar spelen, klagen over hun hippy-ouders whatever. Alle input en ideeen zijn super welkom, idealiter gaat het zichzelf een beetje organiseren en ben ik alleen de toevallige starter van het geheel….. Stuur graag door naar alle ouders die zich thuis voelen op een plek als Joe’s Garage zodat de eerste keer zo leuk wordt dat we dit vaker willen doen! ♥️&✊🏼✊🏽✊🏿&💩

Idea is a monthly parent-child cafe, but a little different. Perhaps a specific theme is discussed occasionally, such as; which actions are safe with children and which are not? Or maybe there is a fun activity for kids, or maybe it’s just fun enough to chat with political activist parents and kids can play with each other, complain about their hippy parents, whatever. All input and ideas are super welcome, ideally it will organize itself a bit and I am just the coincidental starter of the whole….. Please forward to all parents who feel at home in a place like Joe’s Garage so that the first time It’s going to be so much fun that we want to do this more often!

De Drie Duyfjes benefit voku

By: börek - July 1st, 2024  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Monday 15 july 2024, De Drie Duyfjes benefit voku. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

This evening we are raising funds to pay for our legal defense. Come to support!
Gravenstraat 26-28 had been rotting away for a decade. There was a first attempt to squat the houses on September 12, 2021, during the Woonprotest. 61 people were arrested and police brutality followed this squatting action.
On April 27, 2024, on Housing Day (Woningsdag), Gravenstraat 26-28 is successfully squatted. Within a few days, the front gets some fresh paint and the house is named De Drie Duyfjes. Life is back in the house. Come support your local squatters!
