What it takes to get #Europe on a #bike

#Cycling is cheap, healthy, and convenient. So why don’t more #Europeans do it?

Belle de Jong , Ludovica Di Meco , Liene Lūsīte , Tamara Kaňuchová , Toon Vos | 5 Nov 2026

Excerpt: "On 22 September in #Turin, Italy, a car hit and killed a seven-year-old boy cycling to school. 'That could have been me, or my daughter, or anyone, really. Because that place is dangerous,' resident Maria Cristina Caimotto told us.

"Every morning since then, Caimotto has joined a crowd of people on bikes in the street where the tragedy took place to show solidarity with the family, but also to ask for safer streets and fewer cars. 'We cannot erase what happened. We can only do everything we can so that it does not happen again,' she said.

"Backed by 13 civil society associations, the activists want Turin to move away from its dependence on cars.

"It’s ambitious, but not impossible: a similar tragedy helped push the #Netherlands to become the cycling country it is today.

"Until the 1970s, the Netherlands was full of cars. In 1971, a six-year-old was killed cycling to school, and her father's newspaper article launched the #StopDeKindermoord (Stop the Child Murder) campaign against children dying in traffic.

"Two years later, the #OilCrisis added fuel to the fire, driving up petrol prices, and in 1977, #Groningen became the first city in the Netherlands with a plan prioritising #cyclists over #cars.

"Nowadays, 82% of Dutch residents cycle at least occasionally and the country has more than 24 million bikes for a population of about 18 million people. #Utrecht now tops the #Copenhagenize Index, which ranks the world’s most #bicyclefriendly cities, and #Amsterdam, #Rotterdam, and #TheHague are in the top 30.

"The #DutchProtests worked because they were about more than getting around, says Meredith Glaser, professor of cycling at Ghent University and CEO of the Urban Cycling Institute: 'These protests weren’t about transportation. They were about the security of our children, the #liveability of our cities, how inclusive they are.' "

Cinema Mythologica: Vertigo (1958)

De Uitkijk, Wednesday, November 18 at 08:30 PM GMT+1

Love robots, doppelgängers and tragic heroes: behind these iconic film characters lies a mythical past. Although most films are set in the present or the future, classical myths play a significant role throughout Hollywood. Countless films are inspired by archetypal narrative patterns and mythical characters, particularly when they deal with contemporary themes such as AI, gender and psychology. In the Cinema Mythologica series, a collaboration between De Uitkijk and classicist Koen Vacano, we uncover the hidden mythical layers of film history, from Oedipus complexes to narcissistic algorithms. Each film features a short introduction in English, inviting you to view the film through a mythological lens.

Detective ‘Scotty’ Ferguson finds himself with nothing to do after being suspended by the San Francisco Police Department due to an extreme fear of heights. With time on his hands, he comes to the aid of an old friend. His friend’s wife, Madeleine, is behaving strangely, so Scotty is assigned to shadow her. It soon becomes clear that the suspended detective has fallen obsessively in love with the blonde woman he is shadowing.

In Vertigo, Hitchcock plays an ingenious game with illusion and reality; is what the viewer sees a reflection of Scotty’s perceptions, or are they mere figments of his imagination? The now widely used, dizzying camera effect, in which the camera moves backwards whilst zooming in at the same time, takes its name from this film: the ‘Vertigo Effect’.

Cinema Mythologica: Synecdoche, New York (2008)

Love robots, doppelgängers and tragic heroes – behind these iconic film characters lies a mythical past. Although most films are set in the present or the future, classical myths play a significant role throughout Hollywood. Countless films are inspired by archetypal narrative patterns and mythical characters, particularly when they deal with contemporary themes such as AI, gender and psychology.

Theatre director Caden Cotard (Philip Seymour Hoffman) is a neurotic, tormented by numerous physical ailments. He is afraid of death, afraid of life, and perpetually desperate. His wife Hazel, a painter, finds life with him suffocating and flees to Berlin with their young daughter. Cotard’s life falls apart. What sustains him is an unlimited budget for the creation of his magnum opus: a play as ‘shockingly honest’ as life itself, for which he attempts to build a lifelike replica of New York. Cotard rents a huge hangar and hires an army of actors who are free to discover their own roles. Years pass, during which the warehouse becomes increasingly isolated from the outside world and Cadens’ health deteriorates further. A parallel city grows up around Cotard, the leading actor in a theatre without boundaries.

Joaquin Phoenix shines in Spike Jonze’s soulful sci-fi drama about a lonely writer who falls in love with his computer’s highly advanced operating system. Theodore Twombly (Phoenix) has built his career on expressing emotions that others are unable to articulate. His job is to write sincere, deeply personal letters to complete strangers based on details provided by the clients of the company he works for, and he has a gift for finding exactly the right words for every occasion. Meanwhile, Theodore reluctantly signs the papers that will finalise his divorce from his childhood sweetheart. The depressed Theodore has gradually withdrawn from his supportive social circle, which includes his old friend Amy (Amy Adams), who is herself trapped in a failed marriage. When Theodore buys a new, advanced computer operating system that is capable of learning and evolving alongside the user, he sits down at his desk and sets about getting his life in order. The perceptive software, which takes the name Samantha (Scarlett Johansson), slowly begins to draw Theodore out of his shell by encouraging him to go out again and accompanying him everywhere. Their relationship soon becomes intimate. Theodore teaches Samantha what it means to feel human, and Samantha gives him the strength to put his failed marriage behind him. However, things soon become complicated when Samantha’s rapidly evolving knowledge begins to alter the very nature of their relationship.

Cinema Mythologica: Oedipus Rex (1967)

De Uitkijk, Tuesday, November 10 at 06:30 PM GMT+1

In pre-war Italy, a young couple have a child, but when the father becomes jealous of the boy, he abandons him in the desert. From that moment on, the film is set in ancient Greece, where the child is rescued, given the name Oedipus and raised by the king and queen of Corinth. When an oracle tells him that he is destined to kill his father and marry his mother, he flees Corinth in dismay. But then, whilst on his journey, he becomes involved in a fight and kills an old man...

Oedipus Rex is Pasolini’s own interpretation of Sophocles’ classical myth. Unlike later adaptations, which often take the path of Freudian psychoanalysis, Pasolini reduces Oedipus to his essence: a tragic hero of overwhelming primitiveness.

Ex Machina, by writer/director Alex Garland (28 Days Later, Sunshine), presents a time in the not-too-distant future in which artificial intelligence truly comes to life. In the mountain home of a brilliant internet billionaire, a young man takes part in an experiment: testing artificial intelligence in the body of a stunning female robot. The experiment turns into a psychological battle, a love triangle in which loyalty is torn between man and machine.

CiNEMercator - HAROLD AND MAUDE (Hal Ashby, 1971)

Supermercator, Wednesday, November 25 at 08:00 PM GMT+1

Released in 1971, at the height of Hollywood’s brief but extraordinary flirtation with the counterculture, Harold and Maude remains one of American cinema’s most peculiar romantic comedies.

Directed by Hal Ashby, whose understated anarchism would become a defining feature of the New Hollywood era, the film approaches death, love and social conformity with an irreverence that is both mischievous and unexpectedly profound.

Bud Cort plays Harold, a wealthy, death-obsessed young man who stages elaborate suicides to the indifference of his emotionally vacant mother. Ruth Gordon is Maude, a 79-year-old eccentric whose appetite for life extends to stealing cars, uprooting trees and disregarding most conventions of respectable society. Their unlikely romance reverses the usual assumptions about youth and age: Harold is prematurely exhausted by existence, while Maude has acquired, through considerable suffering, an almost radical capacity for joy.

Beneath its eccentric humour lies a precise critique of bourgeois respectability, institutional authority and the peculiar human talent for confusing propriety with morality. Ashby’s satire is sharpest when it is least emphatic; the military, the church, psychiatry and the family reveal their absurdities with very little assistance.

Cat Stevens’ songs lend the film a tenderness that occasionally borders on sentimentality, but Ashby’s dry comic timing keeps it largely in check.

Initially misunderstood by critics and audiences, the film gradually acquired its cult status. More than half a century later, its central provocation remains remarkably intact: that the art of living may have less to do with youth, freedom or happiness than with the courage to take existence seriously without taking its conventions seriously at all...

This film is chosen by Maaike

'Activists have stormed the site of a Microsoft datacentre being built in Amsterdam, as the backlash to the social and environmental harms of the AI boom spreads across Europe.

Protesters from Geef Tegengas, a Dutch direct action group, clashed with police while breaking into a construction site at Westpoort, Amsterdam, where some members climbed a crane, lit flares and tied helium balloons to equipment.

[...]

Big tech and government are racing ahead with large-scale datacentre development despite significant public concern about the impacts on local communities, natural resources and other industries,” said Owen Espley, campaign coordinator. “Many datacentre developments are planned with limited transparency or scrutiny, while communities across Europe are being shut out of decisions that will shape their local environments and futures.'

Rustan Söderling (b. 1984, Sweden) is an artist and filmmaker based in Amsterdam. Working with moving images across documentary, fiction, and animation, he explores how images and stories shape our understanding of reality. His work draws on the unstable relationship between technology, cultural narratives, and systems of belief; the place where the distinction between what is recorded, constructed, and imagined becomes increasingly uncertain.

Voor het te laat is: in gesprek over femicide

Pakhuis de Zwijger, Wednesday, December 9 at 08:00 PM GMT+1

Femicide, het doden van vrouwen omdat ze vrouw zijn, krijgt steeds meer aandacht, maar vaak pas als het te laat is. De dwingende controle die eraan voorafgaat, blijft meestal buiten beeld. En ook daarna blijft veel onzichtbaar: kinderen en nabestaanden dragen het verlies de rest van hun leven met zich mee.

Tijdens deze avond bij Pakhuis de Zwijger vertonen we twee films die dit ieder op hun eigen manier zichtbaar maken. De korte film Acht dagen toont de aanloop naar een femicide. De documentaire Blauwdruk volgt vier vrouwen die als kind hun moeder verloren en vertellen wat dat met hen heeft gedaan.

Na de films gaan we, onder leiding van schrijver en feminist Tessel ten Zweege, in gesprek met Roser, een van de vrouwen uit Blauwdruk, scenarioschrijver Acht dagen Quinty Misiedjan, een expert uit het team van criminoloog Marieke Liem en professionals uit de hulpverlening en de veiligheidszorg, onder meer van Filomena en de politie.

Hoe kan het dat signalen zo vaak worden gemist, en dat vrouwen die zich onveilig voelen niet altijd de bescherming krijgen waar ze recht op hebben? En wat hebben kinderen en nabestaanden nodig om niet tussen wal en schip te vallen? We zoeken uit wat er moet veranderen om geweld eerder te herkennen en op tijd in te grijpen, en wat je daar zelf aan kunt bijdragen, als collega, buur, vriend of familielid.

Deze avond is onderdeel van de Blauwdruk-impacttour, mogelijk gemaakt met steun van de gemeente Amsterdam en Stichting Achmea Slachtoffer & Samenleving (SASS).

Films

Over Blauwdruk (documentaire, Sara Kolster)

Wat doet het met je identiteit als je kind van zowel de dader als het slachtoffer bent? Maeve (59), Roser (47) en de zussen Perla (33) en Aurora (35) verloren elk op één dag hun moeder, hun vader én hun veilige thuis. Regisseur Sara Kolster vertelt hun verhaal samen met ervaringsdeskundige Perla Joy.

Regie & scenario: Sara Kolster
Research: Sara Kolster & Perla Joy
Producent: Eline van Wees (Basalt Film)

Over Acht dagen (korte film, Loes Haverkort)

Femicide, het doden van vrouwen omdat ze vrouw zijn, krijgt steeds meer aandacht, maar vaak pas als het te laat is. De dwingende controle die eraan voorafgaat, blijft meestal buiten beeld. En ook daarna blijft veel onzichtbaar: kinderen en nabestaanden dragen het verlies de rest van hun leven met zich mee.
