Waste Simmers #2 - Matters In Common (open-air cinema)
Please join us as sunset shifts to night on September 25th for our first open-air cinema event Matters in Common, an ensemble of short films curated by María José Crespo in collaboration with IFFR.
Through aluminium, stone, water and seeds, these films explore matter as carrier of stories about labour, extraction, ecological transformation and collective care. They connect bodies to landscapes, histories to other futures, and small gestures to shared forms of knowledge. Together they make us think over other ways of relating to the world around us: ways grounded in cooperation, attention and care.
Featuring local and international filmmakers who have previously presented their films during IFFR, the lineup includes Merging Bodies - Adrian Paci; Know Your Stones - Katarina Jazbec; Ninfa fluida - Ugo Petronin; and Seeds - Colectivo Los Ingrávidos. Seeds will be immersed in a live sonic score by Mexican sound artist Concepcion Huerta, with a site-specific screen to host the films developed by our friendly neighborhood architect Tomi Hilsee.
Drinks and snacks from Waste Simmers and Wijkkeuken op Zuid will fill our bellies along the way.
This event is free to attend. We will begin the screenings once the sunlight dips (approx 20h). Films will be presented with English subtitles. Should weather conditions become unfavourable to host the event outside at our Grondstoffenstation we will relocate to Gemaal op Zuid located close by, with announcements to be made on the day.
