Einder

 is the name of the musical adventure that Janko Bartelink and Danny Jeroense (alias Doolcirkel) have embarked on together. Through live improvisation, new, temporary soundscapes are created time and again, taking the audience on a journey through contrasting atmospheres.



 creates ambient and experimental soundscapes. With the field recordings frequently found in her work, you soon can imagine yourself somewhere far away, yet still close by. She keeps it small but you might will feel totally immerse. 



makes electronic lo-fi pop that whispers rather than speaks. Self-produced in a bedroom studio with little more than a laptop and synth, their sound floats between analog noise and digital textures – inspired by artists like PinkPantheress, Oklou, and Men I Trust.



 is melancholic, honest, and harder than ever before. The young adult band from Enschede tells bittersweet stories of lost loves, shattered self-images, and an escape into oblivion. With influences from alternative rock, shoegaze, and indie pop, raw guitars blend with dreamy synth layers and sultry vocals into a sound that is both comforting and confronting.


Peanut Butter Goldfish combines experimental garage punk with theater. Their stories are raw and unfiltered, with a dark, intense, yet hopeful and danceable energy. One moment you feel like a destructive madman and a possessed
dancer, only to crash down again as a fragile human being.



Nomads Radio is a three-headed whirlwind of surf and garage punk, anchored in poppy hooks and lyrics that balance personal anxieties and everyday absurdities. Think of the raw, melodic songs of Ty Segall and the untamable energy of Osees.

 Glitzineknubum - seasonal zine making

All about eve from Joseph L. Mankiewicz, 1950 (138min)

💜 screening hosted together with Loren

by Mary Orr, All About Eve is a backstage story revolving around aspiring actress Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter). Tattered and forlorn, Eve shows up in the dressing room of Broadway mega-star Margo Channing (Bette Davis), weaving a melancholy life story to Margo and her friends. Margo takes Eve under her wing but quickly it becomes apparent that naïve Eve is a Machiavellian conniver who cold-bloodedly uses Margo, her director Bill Sampson (Gary Merill), Lloyd’s wife Karen (Celeste Holm), and waspish critic Addison De Witt (George Sanders) to rise to the top of the theatrical heap. 
(Also appearing in All About Eve is Marilyn Monroe :)


Come (re)discover this classic with us and discuss agism and expectations around women, bodies and generations!
