Cinema Obscura is a curated film screening program focused on cult, experimental, and unconventional cinema, created by Aike Lutkemoller and Frank Schonewille many years ago.

In the early days, the films were never announced in advance and the spectators discover them either through the introduction by the organizers or even during the screening itself.

The program is challenging, controversial and unique. Each screening is meant to be a special experience, beginning at the moment you sit down in our vintage cinema chairs from 1936. You are invited to react, interact, discuss, scream, laugh and embrace the shared discovery of strange films.

Cinema Obscura will run throughout the year with a monthly screening. Some films will be announced, some will remain a mystery…

Cinema Obscura: Film Night 

From the depths of dusty film cans, late-night television broadcast, forgotten drive-ins and questionable basements… the monsters are returning, one by one.

 is a new cinematic ritual devoted to the glorious age of monsters, mostly from before 1970, and occasionally after, if the creature insists.

Every Monday night we summon all vampires, mutants, swamp creatures, radioactive nightmares, gothic specters, and all the beautiful horrors that crawled out of the golden age of monster movies.

The films will remain a surprise. We will discover it together in the dark…

Before the screening begins, we enter a one-minute meditation guided by the sacred mantra of 

 to properly align mind, body and monster spirit. Then the lights go down.

Grab a drink. Take a seat. Eyes wide open.

To hell with boring-ass brainrot scrolling on Instagram, let’s handcode our own sites again, filled with cool pictures, funny texts and cute games. Did you know that’s really easy??

Every month artists and creatives get together at .zip (Rotterdam) to work on their personal sites with HTML, CSS and Javascript. Sickhouse is joining in as a location. We will be connected via a screen :) When we get stuck on difficult coding challenges, we have each other to help out. At the end of the night, we’ll show off our pages, and join each other’s ‘webrings’.

💻 Technical Skills : Both HTML newbies and pros welcome. Bring your laptop!
🍻 Free admission, bring your own food if you like, support Sickhouse with getting your drinks at the bar:)
