Outdoor cinema Amsterdam: Better Man (2024) at Pllek (Amsterdam Noord, NDSM-Wharf)
England, from a working-class childhood in Stoke-on-Trent to the biggest stages in the world. In this musical biopic, pop star Robbie Williams is portrayed as an anthropomorphic chimpanzee – performed through motion capture by Jonno Davies and voiced by Williams himself – a bold choice that mirrors how he always felt: less evolved than everyone else, a “performing monkey” craving recognition and love. We follow his dizzying rise as the youngest member of the boy band Take That, his growth into a record-breaking solo artist and his equally spectacular fall, in which fame, addiction and self-doubt nearly swallow him whole. Beneath the haze of drink, drugs and consuming insecurity, Williams searches for a reckoning with his demons and with himself. Director Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman) shapes his life into an exuberant, self-mocking spectacle full of dance and show-stopping numbers, which premiered at the Telluride Film Festival.

All That Remains (The Right of Return)
W139, Friday, October 30 at 06:00 PM GMT+1
To close The Nature of Remembering, we are honored to welcome artist-filmmaker Inas Halabi. She will lead us through a listening session centered around field recordings collected from the sites of demolished Palestinian villages. These villages have been turned into Israeli national parks and reserves and overgrown with foreign pine trees in an attempt to erase them, confiscate the land, and prevent the original inhabitants (now refugees) from returning.
The field recordings are part of her ongoing research and a film she is currently producing, which also explores the Indigenous plants that continue to grow in these locations, alongside collective rituals related to the harvest season and land, as a way of disrupting this ongoing erasure. Presenting aural landscapes from these locations, that hold together the drum-like song of cicadas and the drone of jet engines, the soundscapes at W139 invite us to consider: What might an image of ‘return’ sound like?
Ticket: €7,50Student and solidarity ticket: €5
Buy your tickets via Eventbrite.
Inas Halabi (she/her) is an artist-filmmaker living and working between Palestine and the Netherlands. Her practice is concerned with how social and political forms of power manifest, and the impact that overlooked or suppressed histories have on contemporary life. This is anchored around her interest in landscape and systems of power and control. Taking up the history and territory of her native Palestine, her work explores the politics of erasure and the everlasting impact of colonialism on the land and its people. Through the deliberate use of repetition, she aims to capture and create situations that insist on being looked at more closely, bringing to the foreground details of the invisible violence in the everyday, while continuously searching for ways to disrupt this through image and sound, and more recently through collective practices and rituals related to the land.
Image: The demolished village of Beyt ‘Itab, Palestine, 2024. From The Right of Return / All That Remains, an ongoing project by Inas Halabi.

Boekpresentatie: Gaan we het hier nu al over hebben?
Tolhuistuin, Monday, September 14 at 07:00 PM GMT+2
What do you actually know about (your own) fertility?
This special evening puts the book Gaan we het hier nu al over hebben? at the center. The book was written by reproductive medicine physicians Odine Aandewiel and Merel van den Berg. Through music, personal stories, quiz questions and informative talks, a sometimes difficult and sensitive subject is approached in a light-hearted and accessible way. From the possibility of wanting children and the options available, to fertility problems, involuntary childlessness and rainbow families: no topic is left undiscussed.
Actor and singer Pepijn Schooneveld and artist Juliet will perform, while Anna Gimbrère will put the audience’s knowledge to the test! An evening filled with music, stories and important knowledge that everyone should really have received much earlier.
Opening of doors: 18.45 uur
Start: 19:00 uur
Drinks: 20.00 uur

Yellow submarine
I Found a Yellow Submarine in Amsterdam!
No, I wasn’t dreaming. And no, The Beatles weren’t on board.
While wandering through Amsterdam’s beautiful canals, I spotted something completely unexpected—a bright yellow submarine floating on the water!
Immediately, one song started playing in my head…
We all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine…
It made me wonder: Why a yellow submarine?
The Beatles released Yellow Submarine in 1966 as a joyful, whimsical song about friendship, adventure, and escaping to a happier place. Two years later, it inspired the colorful animated film Yellow Submarine, where music saves a magical world.
Seeing one in Amsterdam felt like stumbling into that story.
Whether it’s a tour boat, an art project, or simply a playful nod to the famous song, it certainly made people stop, smile, and take photos—including me!
That’s one of the things I love most about travel. Sometimes the best memories aren’t famous landmarks—they’re the unexpected moments that make you laugh and leave you humming a tune for the rest of the day.
Have you ever come across something during your travels that instantly reminded you of a song or movie? I’d love to hear your story!
