VoKu benefit for ZZW Rafelrand documentary

Monday September 16, 2024, VoKu benefit for ZZW Rafelrand documentary. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

ZZW Rafelrand is a patchwork of communities living and creating in one of the last frayed edges of Amsterdam East, on Zeeburgereiland. Excisting since over 40 years, the whole neighborhood is scheduled for demolition in December 2024. The community neighborhood – ZZW, artist ateliers, Fort Knox, One Peaceful World, Cruise In, etc – will be fully demolished for a new neigborhood.

Since September 2023, we – a small team of DIY film enthusiasts – started following the story of the neighhborhood to create a DIY documentary film. We combine everyday life with community activism: solidarity networks & events, a symbolic funeral, endless negotiations with the municipality, a summer free for all festival, etc. But we also create funky scenes to show the creativity residing in the neighborhood and to show its funky spirit.

After a year of filming and creating from scratch, we have a whole lot of footage and we began to edit. But to make a super duper cool film, we are looking to get editing software! This is where your funds will go. meanwhile, we continue to film because the story is too….

Join the VoKu for a delicious meal! afterwards, we will screen some clips of our film. we also hope to start the conversation & exchange ideas about doing DIY projects:)
