PROGRAMMA

Performance: Jim Verhoeven (Musician 3.0)
Film:Five Apples Don't Make a Pair
In a world where desire clashes with destiny, witness the resurrection of Mojo Nodnarb, as a humble cup of tea holds the key to our eternal struggle. "Five Apples Don’t Make a Pair" is a cinematic, musical, and aesthetic journey that captures the intricate dance between rebirth and self-discovery. In a battle of ego vs. enlightenment, the lines blur, mirroring the complexities of real life and and challenging the playful, yet intricate interplay of black and white. Engaging all five senses, it unearths the weaknesses of our flesh while inviting us toward the path of presence. Nodnarb’s remarkable transformation stands as a powerful testament to our perpetual evolution. Yet, the film returns full circle to a serene tea ceremony in the spheres of a Japanese dojo, unveiling the enduring essence of this beautiful odyssey, resonating with the timeless wisdom inherent in the story of this ancient brew.
Q&A: Tim Wes - regisseur

Performance: Floor Dijkstra
Film:Between Delicate and Violent
Between Delicate and Violent is an experimental documentary that considers hands as memory places that can both accumulate and transfer memories. Through hands and their creations, it imagines unearthing lost memories that have not been included in performative, socially acceptable family albums. Can we see the violence of the painter's hands in the brush strokes of his paintings? Could cross-stitch be an alphabet of some sort? The video connects with the director's past through imagination and creation, while opening up to larger human stories such as domestic violence and intergenerational trauma and resistance.
Q&A: Şirin Bahar Demirel – regisseur (Q&A in het Engels)

Performance: Ivan Dekker
Film:Synthesize me
Teenager Violeta finds a way to bring her mother's synthesizers back to life with disastrous consequences for her and her father. In April 1989, in a liminal town near Mexico City, a young teenage girl accidentally causes a power outage while trying to reconnect with her mother using her old synthesizers.
Q&A: Bear Damen - regisseur
