Film programmes I have curated and events I have taken part in — much of it at LAB111 in Amsterdam.
Fight the Power: Films of Resistance ↗ A monthly programme connecting global resistance movements to cinema — each screening paired with an introduction or panel talk. Editions include Palestine 36, Five Broken Cameras, Soundtrack to a Coup d’État, How to Blow Up a Pipeline and How to Catch a Butterfly, with guests including Akwasi, Sakir Khader and Anja Meulenbelt.
Diaspora Diaries: Shorts Programme An evening dedicated to diaspora storytelling through film, spotlighting three locally based filmmakers in the Netherlands who engage with migration, colonial legacies, intergenerational memory, and the quiet tensions of belonging.
Stories From Palestine: Land and Spirit ↗ A programme of films by Palestinian filmmakers documenting land, memory and resistance. Proceeds to Medical Aid for Palestine; Five Broken Cameras introduced by Sakir Khader with Middle East Archive.
