CiNEMOCCii PRESENTS: DRIJFLAND (Nico Boink, 2026, 64 Min, NL //EN subtitled)+ Q/A
OCCII, Wednesday, July 1 at 08:00 PM GMT+2
CiNEMOCCii present: Film Screening DRIJFLAND
D r i j f l a n d (Nico Boink, 2026, 64 Min, NL //EN subtitled)
Drijfand tells the story of the foating gardens created by the renowned artist Robert Jasper Grootveld in Amsterdam’s Entrepot harbor, Zeeburg district.
Beginning in late 1999, I started to film the construction of these unique garden islands in Grootveld’s workshop, a visionary project he had nurtured since the 1960s. Within a few months two floating garden were completed. Through intimate footage, we witness the creative process unfold, as well as the sudden collapse of the project. Amid escalating tensions between Grootveld and local authorities.
Until his passing in 2009, I filmed regularly. Among the moments captured were times when he was recognized for his role in bringing global attention to Amsterdam, as well as his involvement as one of the founders of the Provo movement in the 1960s.
In 2024, drawn by the gardens’ abundant nature and the dedication of the Raft Builders of Amsterdam, who maintain the islands in Grootveld’s pioneering spirit, I returned to document this living legacy.
The islands’ buoyancy relies on styrofoam, a material Grootveld championed for its “power of softness” . Yet, 25 years later, styrofoam’s environmental impact has sparked urgent questions. The film delves into this dilemma, tracing the search for sustainable, bio-based alternatives that honour Grootveld’s ethos while protecting nature.
Drijfand offers a candid, tender, and often hilarious glimpse into Amsterdam’s underground creative forces, a story of resilience, innovation, and the evolving relationship between art, nature, and community.

Book Launch and Workshop: Radical Quilting by Dyke March Amsterdam
Framer Framed, Thursday, June 4 at 06:00 PM GMT+2
Join us on 4 June 2026 for the launch of the book Radical Quilting, a collection of pieces on fiber arts, community work and activism, written by members of the Dyke March Amsterdam group together with other writers from the community. The evening includes a talk with some of the authors and a workshop in which participants collaboratively create a memory map of Amsterdam with needle and thread.In preparation for the Dyke March 2026, a group of volunteers – the ‘DIY Dykes’ – quilted a banner to carry during the march. For a couple of months, the group met once a week, working on their 30x30cm panel, using a decorative technique of their choice.
With so many people quilting, crocheting, knitting and sewing radically, why is it that fiber arts are still often tied to traditional gender roles? In the publication Radical Quilting, the authors show how to do fiber arts outside of heteronormativity and at different intersections. The quilting is radical: the 2024 Dyke March banner is a token of their dedication to the community and mutual aid in spite of gentrification, and above all, an example of their subversion of gendered expectations in fiber arts.
Sign up here. Feel free to bring your fiber work in progress along!
In the same space where the event takes place, Framer Framed is currently hosting the Threads of our Dutch Slavery Past project. Before the event, and every Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, participants are welcome to join the creation of a tapestry bringing together stories, perspectives and histories. Sign up here to work on this project.

So what is the puppy reading?
Yep, its another #MLP:FiM story review, because I read way, way, way¹⁰ to many stories.
Bed Bug
The first of a series of stories pairing up Anon and Chrysalis and leading to them marrying and having children. If not for the current story, I likely wouldn't've given this a look, I'm not a huge Chrysalis fan, and even less of a fan of Anon, but I'm glad i did. While the stories can have their rough edges, and sometimes logic goes out the window in service of the story, (Chrysalis' old alter ego that infiltrated SMILE and comes in handy so she can infiltrate it again, how's that work?), the stories are a fun casual read.Moonlighting
•sigh• I wanted to like this, despite it having a description that seemed a bit odd, but it failed from minute one. Seriously, its time for NMM's return and… Celestia and Twilight are waiting for her with the elements. I mean the actual elements, not Twilight's friends, WTF? And then Luna shows up in a space ship talking about her plans to develop the moon. Uhh…
Seriously, this could've been great, I mean imagine a story with Luna/Nightmare Moon having been found by a space faring society, got over her issues, and been having adventures in outer space all this time. Imagine her treating the end of her thousand year banishment as a scheduled appointment she needs to make, imagine her showing up as Luna and being like 'hey, I'm doing great, just stopping in to say hi, Tia you can keep Equestria, I'm having fun out in the galaxy', that's the kind of thing I was hoping to see, but nope, and not even something at least halfway decent, definitely not a story worth your time.Equestria Exiled
It really sucks that this one is in hiatus, because its a really interesting story. Basically pony-kind is scattered across a number of stations, Manehatten Station, Ponyville Station, etc, ruled by a council, and the princesses are just a legend, as is any kind of a home world.
That would make for an interesting story in itself if we were following a whole new group of ponies, but that's the thing, we're not. Lyra, Derpy, Octavia, Vinyl Scratch, Sunset Shimmer, Sombra and more are there. Roles are a little different, locations are sometimes different, and the Mane Six are no where to be found, legends of ancient Equestria they are, as are the elements. Except that Octavia accidentally found an element, and the other elements are activating.
Something weird is going on, I feel like I'm missing something obvious here, but I've no idea. I really hope the author has a good plan, because this is the kind of story that could have an incredible pay-off… Or we could get to the end and say 'That's it? Really?' -
Artist to Artist: Ali Chahrour
Felix Meritis, Saturday, June 13 at 03:30 PM GMT+2
Diana Al-Halabi & ghenwa abou fayad
How do you continue working when the reality of war finds itself next to your rehearsal space? What is it like to create art amidst destructive forces? And how does the current situation in Lebanon influence the work of Lebanese artists in The Netherlands? During this Artist to Artist, a collaboration between Felix Meritis and Holland Festival, three Lebanese artists discuss these questions and the importance of sharing stories that often remain in the background.
Lebanese artist Ali Chahrour is part of Holland Festival with his multidisciplinary dance performance When I Saw the Sea. In his work, he connects personal and collective stories with themes such as love and war. During this Artist to Artist he will be joined in conversation by cross-disciplinary artists Diana Al-Halabi and ghenwa abou fayad.
Line-up
Ali Chahrour
Dancer and choreographer Ali Chahrour (Beirut, 1989) has developed a unique movement language that breaks away from Western codes and models. This language reflects his cultural background and the political, social, and religious context in which he works. In an earlier series of performances, part of his “Death” trilogy, he brought funeral rituals to life, combining tradition with a sharp sense of modernity. He later began a new series centered on the theme of “love,” including Told by My Mother, which was presented at Holland Festival in 2025.
Chahrour’s work is characterized by a combination of lyrical poetry and intensely intertwined bodies. His performances have been presented at the Festival d’Avignon (2016, 2018, and 2022) as well as at numerous other festivals worldwide.
Lees meerDiana Al-Halabi
Born in Lebanon in 1990, Diana Al-Halabi is a Rotterdam–Beirut–based interdisciplinary artist working primarily with film and painting. Through an intersectional feminist lens, her practice navigates the entanglement of the personal and the political, challenging top-down structures of power — from the patriarchal gaze and institutional violence to bureaucracy, settler colonialism, migration, and visa regimes. Her recent research, “Famine and Hunger Strikes: Decolonizing the Digestive System,” explores the politicization of the digestive system as a form of bottom-up resistance.
Al-Halabi’s work spans film and painting, with her 2022 film, “The Disaster Cannot Be Contained,” screening at international festivals, including IFFR, and winning Best Short Film in the national competition at the Beirut Shorts International Film Festival. In 2023, she received the IFFR RTM PITCH Award for her short film “The Battle of Empty Stomachs,” which premiered at IFFR 2024, Raindance Film Festival (UK), and Blackstar Film Festival (USA).
Lees meerghenwa (noiré) abou fayad
ghenwa (noiré) abou fayad is a Lebanese cross-disciplinary artist, performer, and installation practitioner. Their work explores the politics of language, oral history, and repetition through sound, storytelling, and improvisation. Using an electro-acoustic setup, ghenwa plays the bouzouqi, sings, and plays the synths to weave together socio-political narratives, memory, and everyday survival, often treating performance as a living archive shaped by embodied experience.
Their practice extends into collaborative and pedagogical formats, including projects such as Hacked Orchestra which she initiated then collaborated on with Hackers & Designers (2024) – which , a collaboration with Hackers and Designers culminating in a sonic presentation at the Muziekgebouw, they facilitated the Insurgent Learning Workshop (2024), and later co-lead Voice as Legacy: Tracing the Unwritten (Sonic Acts x SALWA Foundation, 2025).
Their ongoing sound research uses a dactylo (Arabic typewriter) as an instrument, investigating the gendered history of typing as feminized labor and its sonic potential. At the moment, ghenwa is working on producing their first debut EP entitled ‘daken – sombre’.

Mezrab, Tuesday, November 10 at 08:00 PM GMT+1
Have you ever been to a public reading by a renowned author, and watched them hide behind their own words, avoiding the eyes of their fans? Then they sign their books, often without even glancing inside. For all they know, they could be autographing copies of ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’. We storytellers are different. We immerse ourselves in our audience, aiming our stories to each and every one of them. We don’t just share stories; we embody them, using our very presence as a signature. Yet, while our craft is every bit as vital as novelists and poets, they’re the ones basking in accolades, media spotlights, honorary degrees, and HBO deals.
To level the playing field, storytellers have united to shake up literature. Imagine Proust’s magnum opus summarized in mere minutes, Don Quixote sent on a wild adventure aboard the Pequod, or Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein with a happy ending.
Those ‘writer-writers’ might fight back, but our voices will be louder than their cease-and-desist letters. Join our rebellion!
Doors open at 19.00, event starts at 20.00.
Dad is making soup.
Entrance: Donations.

🎬 Cavia in Concert: The General (1926) with live score by the Joost Buis Trio 🎶 at Nassaukerk
Filmhuis Cavia, Friday, June 19 at 08:00 PM GMT+2
After becoming an instant classic with its first two sold out editions, Cavia in Concert, our series of film and music performances organized in the amazing hall of the Nassaukerk in collaboration with Podium Nassau, comes back once again before the summer break.
In this edition, taking place during the celebrations for the Nassaukerk’s 100th anniversary, we bring you another legendary film from 1926: The General, by Buster Keaton!
After initially becoming a bust and a big setback in Keaton’s career, The General has been reevaluated and is now considered one of the most significant films of the silent era.
Famously described by Orson Welles as "the greatest comedy ever made, the greatest Civil War film ever made, and perhaps the greatest film ever made”, The General tells the story of the Great Locomotive Chase, an episode out of the American Civil War. This contributed to its controversial status, representing an example of American cinema’s fascination with the American Confederacy. Still, the film is universally celebrated as one of the greatest examples of comedy in the history of film.
The film was chosen by Joost Buis, improvisational trombonist and lap guitarist, who has been at the forefront of Amsterdam’s jazz scene since the 1980s, and who now is among the leading musicians of the Zaal 100’s legendary Jazz Café. And Zaal 100 is exactly where the ensemble who will be performing the film formed.
Headed by Joost Buis, legendary trombonist and bandleader who has made his mark in the Amsterdam improvisation scene for the past 40 years, the group is also composed by Kristján Martinsson, who will be at the piano, and Yung-Tuan Ku, at the percussions. Bringing together the mix of structure and improvisation typical of the Amsterdam improvisation and jazz music scene, they are bound to give us the right mood to celebrate the 100 years of Nassaukerk and the whole creative community of the Staatsliedenbuurt.
All and all, come to church with us and make sure not to miss this event for the ages!
Tickets: €8 (or Cineville)
Available for pre-sale HERE.
The event will NOT take place in Filmhuis Cavia, but in the Nassaukerk: De Wittenkade 111.
Doors & bar open at 19:15, film starts at 20:00.

Hear Here!
Melkweg, Saturday, June 20 at 07:00 PM GMT+2
On World Refugee Day, we invite you to Hear, Here! The festival where we meet each other through music, stories, and conversations.
Hear, Here is a night at the Melkweg where you don’t just come to watch, you come to take part. Organised by people with a refugee background, undocumented people, and ASKV, this festival welcomes people from all backgrounds, especially undocumented people and those with a refugee background.
One moment you’re on the dance floor, the next you’re listening to a powerful story. First you learn some dabke dance moves together, then you hear someone share what it’s like to build a life in a new country or to live without residence papers. The night moves back and forth between energy, music, and moments that make you pause and listen. The choice is yours.
Throughout the evening you’ll meet new people, have fun, and discover stories you may not have heard before. Music, dance, and different cultures come together in one space. Between the beats, you’ll hear the experiences of people who had to leave their home countries or who are living here without official status. You get to know each other not only by listening, but also by dancing, laughing, and sharing something together.
Hear, Here is for anyone curious about other people and their stories. Come for the vibe, stay for the encounters. You might go home with a new song in your playlist, a new dance move, or simply a story that stays with you.
Tickets are free for people with a refugee background and undocumented people. For everyone else, we ask for a small contribution to help cover the costs.

https://lgbtqia.space/@MxVerda/113494725051484068Yeah, nerds. Go browse #OortArtCloud if you're weird or even if you're not. Probably something in that that might inspire you to make art, go shower, walk to make kissy noises at animals (do not touch them, especially birds, thank you), or whatever your thing is.

Tell, then show! – our storytelling jam
Mezrab, Sunday, October 4 at 08:00 PM GMT+2
Tell, then Show! is an open storytelling evening where we share the stories behind our favourite songs, films, and books. What’s the story you see when you hear that one track? Why does that scene or sentence stick with you?
Everyone is welcome to join in—but no pressure if you’d rather just listen.
You only have to bring three things: a song, a short video and a book – and above all: tell us why you brought it.
Afterwards, we’ll briefly tune into the song or enjoy the clip together.No need for it to be your ultimate favorite song. It could be one you’re not fond of at all, the one you hate most, maybe even the most boring book you’ve flipped through, or your mom’s treasured tune, or the funniest thing you’ve ever seen, or the song that made you fall in love ... the song that made you fall out of love, a funny memory, ... just something you want to show to us!
... as long as it comes with a story.
Got the idea?We also have two special guests sharing their own unforgettable picks.
Come tell, or just come see. Tell, then Show.
Doors open at 19.00, event starts at 20.00.

Have you ever been to a public reading by a renowned author, and watched them hide behind their own words, avoiding the eyes of their fans? Then they sign their books, often without even glancing inside. For all they know, they could be autographing copies of ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’. We storytellers are different. We immerse ourselves in our audience, aiming our stories to each and every one of them. We don’t just share stories; we embody them, using our very presence as a signature. Yet, while our craft is every bit as vital as novelists and poets, they’re the ones basking in accolades, media spotlights, honorary degrees, and HBO deals.
To level the playing field, storytellers have united to shake up literature. Imagine Proust’s magnum opus summarized in mere minutes, Don Quixote sent on a wild adventure aboard the Pequod, or Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein with a happy ending.
Those ‘writer-writers’ might fight back, but our voices will be louder than their cease-and-desist letters. Join our rebellion!
