De stilte van Europa
Pakhuis de Zwijger, Wednesday, May 20 at 08:00 PM GMT+2
Europa’s rol bij het internationaal recht en conflicten in Zuidwest-Azië (Midden-Oosten).In dit programma nemen we de rol van Europa in het Midden-Oosten (Zuidwest-Azië) onder de loep. Terwijl de Verenigde Staten en Israël het internationaal recht herhaaldelijk schenden, blijft Europa opvallend stil en afwachtend. Hoe geloofwaardig is Europa nog als verdediger van het internationaal recht en de zogenoemde ‘op regels gebaseerde’ wereldorde, wanneer het niet optreedt bij evidente schendingen? Moet Europa niet veel krachtiger stelling nemen wanneer bondgenoten het recht overtreden en oorlogsmisdaden begaan? Wat vraagt dat van Europa – diplomatiek, politiek en moreel? En hoe wordt Europa wereldwijd gezien nu het niet ingrijpt bij zichtbare misstanden in onder meer Palestina, Libanon en Iran? Tijdens dit programma gaan we met bijzondere sprekers in gesprek over de verantwoordelijkheid van Europa in een situatie waarin wegkijken allang geen optie meer is.
Met in dit programma Marieke de Hoon Universitair hoofddocent internationaal strafrecht aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam Erwin van Veen Team lead and senior research fellow at the Clingendael Institute Thijs Reuten Europarlementariër GL-PvdAOver de sprekers
Marieke de Hoon is universitair docent internationaal strafrecht aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA) en Directeur van Public International Law & Policy Group in Nederland. De Hoon is regelmatig te zien en te horen in de media als duider van complexe juridische kwesties, zoals oorlogsmisdaden, internationale rechtspraak en de rol van het Internationaal Strafhof.
Erwin van Veen is senior research fellow bij de Conflict Research Unit (CRU) van Clingendael en hoofd van het Middle East-programma. Hij adviseert over het voorkomen en verminderen van gewelddadige conflicten, met expertise in de relatie tussen politieke orde, protest en geweld in onder meer Irak, Israël/Palestina, Syrië en Turkije.
Lees meer De dubbele standaard van Europa: Een bom onder het internationaal rechtNa de illegale Amerikaans-Israëlische aanval op Iran keken Europese landen massaal weg. In andere gevallen hameren die landen juist op het belang van ‘territoriale integriteit’ en ‘soevereiniteit’. Een dubbele standaard die het internationaal recht bedreigt.
Marieke de Hoon (UvA): 'Het internationaal recht is niet perfect, maar het is beter dan zonder'Terwijl het wapengekletter in het Midden-Oosten met de dag verder lijkt te escaleren, blijft het vanuit Europa angstvallig stil. Spreken we ons uit tegen een massale aanval op een soeverein land, of zijn we vooral blij dat het Iraanse regime wordt aangepakt? Kortom: wat weegt tegenwoordig zwaarder: geopolitiek of internationaal recht?
Epic Fury...en wat gaat Europa doen?Verschillende experts van Clingendael bundelen in deze alert een eerste duiding van de militaire ontwikkelingen; politieke analyses over de VS en Iran; en bespreken mogelijke gevolgen en handelingsperspectieven voor Europa.

The Great Adventure of Horus Prince of the Sun (1968)
Melkweg, Saturday, May 16 at 07:00 PM GMT+2
Together with Kaboom Animation Festival we bring the best anime to the big screen!
The Great Adventure of Horus Prince of the Sun is a wonderfully energetic adventure story that marked the first collaboration between director Isao Takahata and his protégé Hayao Miyazaki – later founders of Studio Ghibli. With its mythological source material (an epic of the indigenous Ainu) and socialist message (well received by 1968’s students), Horus became known as the first ‘grown-up’ anime.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006)
Melkweg, Friday, June 12 at 07:00 PM GMT+2
Together with Kaboom Animation Festival we bring the best anime to the big screen!
What if we could freely travel in time? How would we use that power: to solve world problems or for our own benefit? Mamoru Hosoda’s first feature film based on an original subject asks these questions when 17-year-old Makoto discovers that she can jump through time. Combining adolescent love-story and philosophical scifi, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, embodies Spiderman’s famous adage that with great power comes great responsibility. Satoko Okudera’s screenplay is loosely based on the popular 1967 novel with the same name, which was adapted for the screen several times but never as an anime before. A unique chance to see this early film by the director of Wolf Children, Mirai and Belle on the big screen.

The Boy and the Beast is a successful coming-of-age story by anime giant Mamoru Hosoda that follows nine-year-old runaway Ren and gruff beast Kumatetsu fighting, arguing, and slowly discovering the true meanings of strength, anger, and loneliness. After which, Ren will have to choose between romance in modern-day Tokyo and a beast kingdom rather resembling feudal Japan.

Children Who Chase Lost Voices (2011)
Melkweg, Saturday, October 17 at 07:00 PM GMT+2
Together with Kaboom Animation Festival we bring the best anime to the big screen!
The most Miyazakian film by Makoto ‘the new Miyazaki’ Shinkai (Your Name., 2016) is slightly less romantic than usual, instead focussing more on learning to cope with death and solitude. We enter a gorgeous, multicultural underworld, to which our young female protagonist Asuna and her kawaii cat Mimi are irresistibly drawn.

All You Need Is Kill (2025)
Melkweg, Saturday, November 14 at 07:00 PM GMT+1
Together with Kaboom Animation Festival we bring the best anime to the big screen!
First came Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s ‘light novel’ in 2004. Ten years later, we saw adaptations as manga, American graphic novel, and the Hollywood blockbuster Edge of Tomorrow. And now, an anime directed by Kenichiro Akimoto. Each time, the story starts over, but slightly different. Which, funnily enough, is exactly the premise of All You Need Is Kill. In its Groundhog Day (1993) meets video game concept, each time you die, your day starts over, you just know a little bit more about what’s coming (something about an alien invader and the total annihilation of Earth).
The two most significant changes made by Akimoto and his team are that the main characters aren’t military anymore, but civilian, and that the lead role has shifted from Keiji to Rita. With as an additional story layer the fact that Rita – although the word isn’t explicitly mentioned – is depressed. Which neatly fits the pattern of each day feeling the same, and having no interest at all in tomorrow.
Which effectively turns All You Need Is Kill – with all its clearly choreographed fight scenes and the angular, sketchy design for which Studio 4°C is known – into a series of therapy sessions (after all, therapy also requires endless repetition for even minor progress): unless Rita wants to keep dying for the rest of her life (‘Live. Die. Repeat’ was Edge of Tomorrow’s concise slogan), she has no choice but to take an interest in every single detail of today in an attempt to finally make it to tomorrow.

3x3 Eyes (1991)

Relationship drama? Demonic massacre? Romcom? Supernatural adventure story? It’s the nineties, so: it’s all of the above! Toei Animation’s adaptation of Yuzo Takada’s manga series has something for everyone: from budding teen romance to bloody dismemberment – luckily, our Yakumo is immortal. Now, he only has to help that kawaii three-eyed demon become human. Directed by Daisuke Nishio (episodes one, three and four), known for his work on Dragon Ball Z (1986-1992), and Kazuhisa Takenouchi (episode two), who would later direct the Daft Punk project Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem (2001).
