  1. My girlfriend and I had a beach day today, then got dinner at a nearby restaurant. I had salmon with Bearnaise sauce, capers and toasted pecans; she had breaded and fried Lake Erie perch. It was great!

    Here is the keto-friendly Big Mac salad I made for dinner with homemade Mac Sauce and toasted sesame seeds. Great way to use ground beef.

    I should do this more often. I miss making pizza. I used to do it for a living.

  7. Poon's at Somerset House
    Snacks: £3.5-£8; Starters: £10-£15; Mains: £13-32

    Poon's is a stone throw away from the bustling Lancaster Place, in the New Wing of Somerset House. The room is bright, and has normal tables, a few high tables, and a communal style arrangement. We were seated at one of the high tables in the corner near the entrance, facing out with a good view over the interior.

    At first glance the menu looks deceptively simple, but on closer examination there were many delicious options to choose from

    We started with some pan-fried wind-dried sausage, which was slightly sticky, salty and delicious. We also shared a portion of The Hill That Amy Didn't Die On, a long-winded name for a prawn toast. But well done, and more like croquettes than the traditional flat shape — we're not sure that it actually involved bread.

    For our mains I ordered the Char Siu, beautifully roasted pork belly with a sticky glaze. Some steamed rice was great for soaking up the juices. My wife chose the Steamed Catch of the Day. Today's was a Brill, which was presented whole, but taken off the bone for us. It was served with mushrooms — some of which were cut into strips and tied into little knots — and some greens. We shared more of these dishes than we would normally do.

    We did not have space for desert as well, and instead enjoyed a digestive.

    The meal was great, but it did end up being a little pricier than originally expected. But our digestive had something to do with that.

    Poon's had a wonderful atmosphere, delicious food and welcoming staff, we'd definitely return and would recommend.

  9. SPORA: Different Roots, Common Ground

    Pakhuis de Zwijger, Friday, September 18 at 07:00 PM GMT+2

    Building Community Through Dialogue

    Have you ever walked into a room and felt like your story didn’t quite belong there? For many in diaspora communities, that feeling is all too familiar. Yet for decades, community organizers, creatives, and thinkers have been building spaces where we do belong.

    SPORA builds on that tradition. Our goal: a platform in the Netherlands for voices, stories, and ideas, growth, intergenerational education and visibility. A space for voices from the African and Caribbean diaspora to speak freely, connect deeply, and share ideas on their own terms, where diaspora narratives are not translated, filtered, or minimized, but expressed fully. Because when we gather, we grow.

    For our first edition, three changemakers explore what it means to connect. To nature, to each other, and to ourselves:

    Kriticos Mwansa – “The Art of Bringing People Together”
    Community can’t be manufactured, but we can create the conditions for it to flourish. In an era where “community” is often reduced to a buzzword, Kriticos shares insights on gathering people in a way that feels organic and sincere. From spatial arrangements to conversation prompts. True belonging isn’t engineered; it surfaces when people feel genuinely invited, safe, and when we intentionally design the room for connections to take root.

    Glenn Helberg – “Dispersion of Seeds”
    What we call culture is often something that exists as a reaction to the environment. Glenn explores the nervous system, the behaviors we show, and understanding why that behavior is shown; adaptation to what our cultures used to be or meant to be.

    Jody Morgan – “Touch Grass”
    How does nature shape our identity, culture, wellbeing, and sense of belonging? What can nature teach us about connecting with ourselves and with others? Humans are inherently relational, and we often think of nature as scenery, but what if it’s actually one of our oldest relationships?

    Met in dit programma Jody Morgan Bite the Bullet podcast Host and Entrepreneur Kriticos Pandelis Mwansa Cultural curator, founder of The Book Club Glenn Helberg Psychiater, directeur praktijk voor psychiatrie en psychotherapie 'Introspect'

    More about the keynote speakers...

    Glenn Helberg is a psychiatrist, author, speaker, and activist who has spent decades improving the position of Antilleans and Arubans in the Netherlands. He broke multiple taboos within the Caribbean community, including absent fatherhood and homosexuality. In 2011, he initiated the first Antillean boat at Amsterdam’s Pride Canal Parade. He received a royal knighthood in 2013, the Black Achievement Award oeuvre prize in 2019, and the Jos Brink Oeuvre Prize in 2021 for his work as a mental health father of the queer community. Helberg is co-founder of the Expertise Center for Transcultural Therapy.

    Kriticos Mwansa is a Zambian-born creative with deep Tanzanian roots, a cultural curator, and the visionary founder of The Book Club. He has cultivated a vibrant community centered on a refreshing premise: “No reading required to spark an incredible dialogue.” By bridging literature with music, art, and culinary experiences, Kriticos reimagines reading as a shared cultural journey rather than a solitary task. From intimate dinners to prisons, to prestigious museums and private members clubs, his mission remains constant: gathering curious minds to exchange knowledge and foster connection through the power of conversation.

    Jody Morgan was born on the beautiful island of Saba. Her cultural identity has been shaped by her island home and the countries of her parents: Suriname and St. Lucia. Moving to the Netherlands at 17, Jody began pursuing her dream of becoming an entrepreneur and making a positive impact in the world. She has started businesses ranging from designing jewelry that represents Saba and islands across the Caribbean, to graphic and web design, to consultancy for Caribbean companies. Today, she is also the co-host of the Bite the Bullet Podcast. Through all her ventures, Jody continues to find avenues that keep her close to her culture.

  10. 🎬 MOONS OF CAVIA | Documenting Absence: De toekomst is failliet + Do You Love Me + VHS Jam Session

    Filmhuis Cavia, Thursday, September 3 at 06:00 PM GMT+2

    During the first weekend of September, we will be hosting the seventh edition of our outdoor film festival, featuring not only Oscar-nominated features and local eye-opening shorts, but also music, food and performance, making for a truly special experience.  Once again, we will try to spotlight some of the diversity that makes up Cavia’s many identities, celebrating a year of incredible moments for our small cinema.

    DOCUMENTING ABSENCE: 
    De toekomst is failliet + Do You Love Me + VHS Jam Session


    The opening night of Moons presents two films which converse about the loss of personal histories through the disappearance and destruction of (urban) infrastructure. In the search of remembering fractured and fuzzy memories, or intentionally hidden histories, both films engage directly with the power of archives.

    Suzzane Koopstra's short magic-realist documentary De toekomst is failiet follows Bep and Tinus, two elders who have been capturing the disappearance of their neighbourhoods over the last 60 years. By digging through their personal archives and photographic albums, the film offers a unique glimpse into Rotterdam's rapid gentrification and housing crisis.

    Lara Daher's Do You Love Me reconstructs the fragmented collective memory of Lebanon, by panning through 70 years of film, TV, home videos, and photography from private collections and abandoned archives. In the words of Lara Daher "In our schools, we have no shared history book, our past remains unspoken. This absence pushed me to the archives to search, collect, and listen—to understand not only what came before, but our present."

    Alongside the double-bill, visitors will be able to interact with Cavia's own VHS archive, a collection gathered over years which includes festival submissions, experimental films, underground oddities, and homemade tape compilations, among many others. This will be set up by the Archive Jam Sessions, preceding the screenings.

     

    DE TOEKOMST IS FAILLIET
    Suzzane Koopstra | 2024 | NL | 27’ | Dutch, EN subtitles 

    The endless Rotterdam construction pit unfolds as a moving spectacle for the very last time. Amidst a desolate backdrop where once the lost city resurrected from the rubble, the earth swaps itself for a shiny skyline in a whimsy permanent longing for the new and the better. In a race against the clock, Bep and Tinus persist in making their last attempt to capture that elusive time, by chasing it with their camera.

    +

    DO YOU LOVE ME 
    Lara Daher | 2025 | Lebanon, France, Germany, Qatar | 75’ | EN subtitles

    Do You Love Me is a playful and personal journey through Lebanon's audiovisual memory, composed entirely of archival footage. It is a love letter to Beirut, spanning 70 years of film, TV, home videos, and photography, exploring the Lebanese collective psyche - marked by joy and intimacy, destruction and loss. Through the eyes of citizens, filmmakers and artists, the film reconstructs a fragmented history in a country without a national archive, celebrating creative expression as both resistance, renewal and a way to preserve memory.

    +

    VHS JAM SESSION

    The Archive Jam Session hands Filmhuis Cavia's VHS archive over to the audience. A participatory method for exploring it collectively and horizontally, one night at a time. The audience becomes co-curator, sifting through decades of tape to build something live and shared.
    Around the space, TVs and videocassette players turn into preview stations. In small groups, participants search the archive, chasing a title, a label, a hunch, then gather at a station to watch what they find. From hours of footage, each group cuts fifteen minutes: a few fragments, rewound and primed to the chosen moments.
    Then the big screen takes over. One by one, groups step up and press play. Without a script, fragment meets fragment, image answers image, and something clicks: a jam session made of images instead of sound, each riff building on the last. Along the way, a glimpse of everything that lives inside Cavia's archive.

  11. 🎬 MOONS OF CAVIA | politics, poetry & anticolonialism

    Filmhuis Cavia, Saturday, September 5 at 06:00 PM GMT+2

    POLITICS, POETRY & ANTICOLONIALISM

    For the Saturday night of Moons, we are presenting three short films that help us reflect on colonial violence through spoken and visual poetry.

    The night will open and close with a performance by Dominic Pradana, a queer Amsterdam-based Indonesian writer whose work tackles questions of identity, belonging and displacement. We then move to Guinea-Bissau, where Eduardo Williams’s experimental film Parsi takes us along the lives of the queer community, accompanied by a poem by Mariano Blatt, No Es. Then, we slide over to Beirut, Lebanon, with Jocelyne Saab’s monumental documentary Beirut, My City, in which Lebanese actor, playwright and director Roger Assaf delivers a love letter to the city he is witnessing being torn apart and destroyed. Finally, in happiness, Firat Yücel takes us through the visual landscape of the internet to ruminate on the effects of consuming violence online.

    Come early to have a drink in the garden and eat with us, as we will be serving food at donation prices from the famous Amsterdam West community kitchen De Sering. Throughout the night, donations can be made to the Lebanese Red Cross. 
     

    PARSI 
    Eduardo Williams | 2018 | Guinea-Bissau, Argentina, Switzerland | 23’ | EN subtitles 

    Using a 360-degree camera, Parsi submerges the viewer in the daily lives of the queer community in Guinea-Bissau. Guided by Mariano Blatt’s poem No Es, the film is an ethnographic exercise in immersion, blurring spectator and subject.

    +

    BEIRUT, MY CITY (Beyrouth, Ma Ville)
    Jocelyne Saab | 1982 | Lebanon, France | 38’ | French, EN subtitles 

    Filmed during the 1982 Israeli siege of Beirut, Beirut, My City speaks to the hardships, woes and strength of the Lebanese people. The film reflects on questions of identity, belonging and memory within cycles of repeated violence. While the film was made in 1982, its themes and images resonate with the current violence in Beirut and Lebanon more broadly, an expansion of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

    +

    HAPPINESS
    Firat Yücel | 2025 | Netherlands, Turkey | 18’ | English 

    These days, everything can be consumed online, including violence. How can we keep up with everything we read about or witness on the internet? happiness questions how we engage with news, violence and genocide online, how it affects us in our lived realities, and how violences underpins minute aspects of our daily lives. The desktop documentary travels the worldwide web to explore these questions.
     

    DOMINIC PRADANA

    Dominic Pradana is an Indonesian writer and poet based in Amsterdam. His work explores the emotional architectures of colonialism, capitalism, nationhood, and development, asking how these inherited systems shape desire, identity, and belonging. Across his work, queerness becomes a practice of refusal - an interrogation of the inherited scripts through which we come to understand ourselves and the worlds we inhabit. Through poetry and prose, he writes as a practice of unraveling, using language as a mirror, an archive, and a site of becoming.
    Dominic runs 'Surviving Paradise' on Substack, an ongoing exploration of what it means to inherit a nation, survive its promises, and imagine other ways of being. He is currently working on his debut novel of the same name.
     

    IHAB KHELFA

    Cairo-born, Amsterdam-based sound artist and DJ, Ihab’s practice is rooted in movement, research, and sonic storytelling. His journey began across Southeast Asia, continued through Southern Europe, and now evolves in Amsterdam, where he expands his approach to performance and musical exploration. He is currently developing an ongoing series titled La Tabla La Musique, a body of work that reflects his deep engagement with Arab pop, Raï, and electro-Shaabi. Drawing from these influences, Ihab explores ways to reconnect with his childhood sonic memory while merging it with global south electronic music, blurring the boundaries between tradition and contemporary, acid-laced textures.

    Listen here to his Soundcloud!
     

    DE SERING

    Throughout the evening, food will be provided by De Sering, the famous community kitchen founded in Amsterdam West. 
    De Sering was founded on the belief that strong communities are essential for activism and progress, and that an affordable meal is the perfect way to bring people together, allowing for the material conditions that allow people to participate in society, politics, and activism. Their aim is to expand and build a network of sociocratically organised locations led by participants, fostering community and addressing loneliness and hunger. Beyond cooking and serving food, they plan to offer services like childcare and educational courses to make activism and politics more accessible.

    CAVIA'S ANIMATION NIGHT
    The Wolfwalkers + Animation Workshop 


    Animation is one of the cinematic art forms more able to bring together different experiences and generations, enchanting both the younger and older as it goes about creating magical worlds.

    For the closing of Moons we start early with an animation workshop, led by Neyshme Yanarico and Letitia Evers, where participants will be able to create their own characters and to see them come to life, transforming into a real animator for one day.

    Following that, we will see how some of the best in the game do it, with a screening of Oscar-nominated feature The Wolfwalkers, by award-winning studio Cartoon Saloon, one of the most innovative and interesting realities of European animation today.

    Come by early to hang out in our garden, while we serve some great food from Amsterdam famous community kitchen De Sering. Prices on donation!
     

    TEXTURED STORYTELLING AND CHARACTER DESIGN
    Workshop by Neyshme Yanarico and Letitia Evers

    Are you, or someone you know, interested in animation and wondered; “how do they do it?” Then join us for this workshop as we guide you through the process of animation and help you create your very own animated sequence! Our goal is to show those who are intrigued but aren’t sure where or how to start exactly how accessible animation can be—No need for expensive materials or exclusive tools! The workshop will be centered around a simple yet surprisingly versatile method of animating: Paper cutout stop-motion. Here you’ll learn that even with just paper, scissors and a phone you can turn your imagination into moving art!

    The workshop will be guided by Neyshme and Letitia, two artists with a degree in 2D animation, who are eager to introduce you to the world of animating, by taking the time to go through the step-by-step of creating a stopmotion piece. Starting from an idea for a design, you will tell a story with the help of a storyboard putting your creativity and effort into creating something beautiful and made with your own imagination and hands!

    Join us for an afternoon spent learning, creating and enjoying the art of paper cutout animation! All you need to bring with you is a phone (with ‘APP’ installed, a free tool that will help bring your art to live) and of course your enthusiasm to learn something new!

    We hope to see you there!
    N.B. No prior experience needed!

    Get your tickets to attend the workshop HERE – only limited availability!

    THE WOLFWALKERS 
    Tomm Moore, Ross Stewart | 2020 | France, Ireland, Luxembourg, USA, China | 102’ | English, NL subtitles 

    In a time of superstition and magic, when wolves are seen as demonic and nature an evil to be tamed, a young apprentice hunter comes to Ireland with her father to wipe out the last pack. But when she saves a wild native girl, their friendship leads her to discover the world of the Wolfwalkers and transform her into the very thing her father is tasked to destroy.
