(scroll naar beneden voor Nederlands)&quot;Gender Trouble&quot; is curated by director, producer and cinephile Antony Voronov,&hellip;]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(scroll naar beneden voor Nederlands)</p><p>&quot;Gender Trouble&quot; is curated by director, producer and cinephile <a target='_blank' href="https://taboompc.com/">Antony Voronov</a>, a Russian genderqueer refugee. In the country he left, films like these are now classified as extremist materials under the law.</p><p>During the evening we explore questions around sex and gender identity, sparked by three films from the 1910s. Have attitudes to gender really changed that much? How were non-conforming gender expression and behaviour represented in film a century ago, and how does that compare to now?</p><p><strong>Algie the Miner</strong> (fragment)<br /><em>by Harry Schenck, Edward Warren and Alice Guy<br />1912, USA, 10 minutes, silent with English titles</em><br />Algie the Miner works with the &quot;sissy&quot; character popular at the time: a feminine man who, after a spell in the Wild West, takes on more conventionally masculine traits. Some critics read the sissy as a gay-coded figure. Is that what we see on screen here, or is sexuality being confused with gender expression? We're curious about your reading.</p><p><strong>The Florida Enchantment</strong> (fragments)<br /><em>by Sidney Drew<br />1914, USA, 60 minutes, silent with English titles</em><br />Probably one of the earliest films to address what we would now call transgender experience. The seeds that change a person's sex are nowadays easy to read as an allusion to hormone therapy, which came much later.</p><p><strong>I Don't Want to Be a Man</strong> (full film)<br /><em>by Ernst Lubitsch<br />1918, Germany, 45 minutes, silent with German titles and English subtitles</em><br />Lubitsch's film is about women's agency, gender curiosity and cross-dressing. The title sounds like a conclusion, but what comes before it is a young woman trying out a man's role and finding out what it gives her.</p><p>We take these films as open works, where meaning comes out of the encounter between the film and whoever is watching. There are no right or wrong readings, and yours will shape the evening as much as anything on screen.</p><p>You don't need to know anything about 1910s cinema, or to have seen a silent film before. Each film gets a short introduction with historical context, and after each screening there's time to talk about how they land today.</p><p><strong>Cineville valid at the door and online on the day itself!</strong></p><p>......</p><p>&quot;Gender Trouble&quot; is samengesteld door regisseur, producent en cinefiel <a target='_blank' href="https://taboompc.com/">Antony Voronov</a>, een Russische genderqueer vluchteling. In het land dat hij achterliet vallen films als deze inmiddels onder de wet op extremistisch materiaal.</p><p>Tijdens deze avond onderzoeken we vragen rond sekse en genderidentiteit, aan de hand van drie films uit de jaren tien van de vorige eeuw. Zijn de opvattingen over gender werkelijk zo veranderd? Hoe werden gendernonconform gedrag en genderexpressie een eeuw geleden in film verbeeld, en hoe verhoudt zich dat tot het heden?</p><p><strong>Algie the Miner</strong> (fragment)<br /><em>van Harry Schenck, Edward Warren en Alice Guy<br />1912, VS, 10 minuten, stille film met Engelse tussentitels</em><br />Algie the Miner werkt met het destijds populaire &quot;sissy&quot;-type: een vrouwelijke man die na een periode in het Wilde Westen conventioneler mannelijke trekken aanneemt. Sommige critici lezen de sissy als een gay-gecodeerd personage. Is dat wat we hier op het scherm zien, of worden seksualiteit en genderexpressie door elkaar gehaald? We zijn benieuwd naar jouw lezing.</p><p><strong>The Florida Enchantment</strong> (fragmenten)<br /><em>van Sidney Drew<br />1914, VS, 60 minuten, stille film met Engelse tussentitels</em><br />Waarschijnlijk een van de vroegste films die gaat over wat we nu transgender-ervaring zouden noemen. De zaden die iemands sekse veranderen zijn tegenwoordig makkelijk te lezen als een verwijzing naar hormoontherapie, die pas veel later bestond.</p><p><strong>I Don't Want to Be a Man</strong> (volledige film)<br /><em>van Ernst Lubitsch<br />1918, Duitsland, 45 minuten, stille film met Duitse tussentitels en Engelse ondertiteling</em><br />Lubitsch' film gaat over de handelingsvrijheid van vrouwen, nieuwsgierigheid naar gender en cross-dressing. De titel klinkt als een conclusie, maar wat eraan voorafgaat is een jonge vrouw die een mannenrol uitprobeert en ontdekt wat die haar oplevert.</p><p>We benaderen deze films als open werken, waarin betekenis ontstaat in de ontmoeting tussen de film en wie ernaar kijkt. Er zijn geen goede of foute lezingen, en de jouwe bepaalt de avond net zo goed als wat er op het scherm gebeurt.</p><p>Je hoeft niets te weten over de cinema van de jaren tien, en je hoeft nooit eerder een stille film te hebben gezien. Elke film krijgt een korte inleiding waarin de historische context gegeven wordt, en na elke vertoning is er tijd om te praten over de manier waarop ze anno 2026 binnenkomen.</p><p><strong>Cineville geldig aan de deur en online op de dag zelf!</strong></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Mensen Zeggen Dingen #4: Met Sabina Lukovic, Oumaima Yahiaoui, e.a.</title><link>https://worm.org/production/mensen-zeggen-dingen-4-met-sabina-lukovic-oumaima-yahiaoui-oa/</link><description><![CDATA[15/10/2026 in Rotterdam.

Verwacht een avond vol woorden die schuren, fluisteren, knallen en helen. Wij brengen spoken word, poëzie, slam en verhalen, rauw, eerlijk, soms scherp als glas, soms zacht als adem. Elke editie is anders. Elke stem een universum.<br />We bewegen tussen het podium en de straat, tussen wat gezegd wordt en wat nog niet durft. Kom luisteren. Kom voelen. Kom dingen zeggen.</p><p><strong>Host</strong><br /><strong><a target='_blank' href="https://www.instagram.com/sabinalukovic">Sabina Lukovic</a></strong><br />Weet als geen ander hoe ze het publiek kan bespelen met haar meeslepende teksten. Stond zo'n beetje in alle steden en op alle festivals, zoals Solar, de Gentse Feesten en Lowlands. Sabina is koningin punchline. Ze weet situaties altijd zo te schetsen dat ze onder je huid kruipen en je huid kan niet voorkomen dat dat kippenvel oplevert. Haar teksten gaan over kwetsbaarheid, mental health en rising like a phoenix. Ze is onmisbaar in het Mensen Zeggen Dingen leger, en gaat overal met hen mee naar toe om zalen omver te blazen. Want dat doet ze.</p><p><strong>Artiesten</strong><br /><strong>Oumaima Yahiaoui</strong><br />Oumaima Yahiaoui (2006) is dichter, schrijver en performer. Ze studeert Critical Humanities aan het Erasmus University College en werkt als freelanceverslaggever bij het Algemeen Dagblad.<br />Ze was  in 2020 de winnaar van de Jongerenschrijfwedstrijd  over 75 jaar vrijheid, georganiseerd door De Balie en het Amsterdams 4 en 5 mei comité. In 2022 en 2023 schreef Oumaima samen met Martijn Simons twee briefwisselingen voor voetbaltijdschrift Hard Gras, waarna ze geïntroduceerd werd aan de literaire wereld. In 2024 schreef ze voor de Algemeen Daglad-rubriek ‘Oumaima in de VS’ columns waarin ze de landelijke verkiezingen van de Verenigde Staten volgde.<br />Sinds 2026 is zij de jongerenstadsdichter van Rotterdam, de stad waar ze is geboren en getogen. Het juryrapport oordeelde: ‘Haar rijke taal doet persoonlijk aan, maar niet privé, en daarmee achten we haar in staat om stem te geven aan een particuliere beleving van de stad die de blik op de stad voor haar stadsgenoten kan openbreken.’ Sinds haar aanwijzing tot jongerenstadsdichter schreef ze in samenwerking met stadsdichter Benzokarim twee gedichten: ‘In die Glittering’ en ‘Wisselen’.<br />In 2026 publiceert ze ook een correspondentie met Martijn Simons in diens boek Beste meneer Simons, dat 23 april verschijnt bij Uitgeverij Thomas Rap.</p><p><strong>Siham Amghar</strong><br />Siham Amghar schrijft voornamelijk gedichten en korte poëtische verhalen. Haar teksten zijn ontstaan door en voor het podium, maar ook op papier komen haar teksten tot uiting. In 2014 won ze de El Hizjra literatuurprijs en ze heeft voorgedragen op o.a. het Rotterdams Lezersfeest, Spoken Beat Night, Woorden Worden Zinnen en het Crossing Border festival. In Rabat droeg zij voor uit haar bundel 'Als ik wegdrijf'. Ze nam deel aan het Slow Writing Lab van het Nederlands Letterenfonds, aan #NieuweStukken van Fonds Podiumkunsten en aan Het Veerhuis talentenprogramma. Tijdens deze trajecten hield zij zich bezig met de thema's vrijheid, seksualiteit en intergenerationele verhalen. Siham zat in een talentontwikkeltraject van De Nieuwe Oost | Wintertuin. Momenteel is zij specialist voorlichtingen en werkt zij aan een groter verhaal.</p><p><strong>Geoffrey van der Ven</strong><br />Geoffrey van der Ven, schrijver en theatermaker, staat bekend om zijn kritische werk over queer- en BIPOC-ervaringen. Zijn werk was te zien bij het Eurovisie Songfestival, het Nieuwe Luxor Theater en het Amsterdam Fringe Festival. Zijn eerste tour met de solovoorstelling ‘Het is niet Nieuw’ , waarin hij de queer geschiedenis van Afrika belicht, is recent afgerond. Momenteel werkt hij aan zijn nieuwe voorstelling ‘Anders ik wel’ waarin hij de ervaring van schaamte en ‘anders-zijn’ onderzoekt.</p><p><strong>Smita James</strong><br />Smita James ( NIjkerk, 1983) is een Surinaams Nederlandse schrijver, dichter en performancekunstenaar. Sinds 2002 performt ze haar teksten vanaf gerenommeerde literaire podia als Re:definition, Cinnamon Wednesdays, Woorden worden Zinnen, SLAA Perdu, Read My World en Poetry International. Daarmee behoort zij tot de incrowd van de, voormalig underground, spoken word scene die Nederland nu rijk is. In 2019 heeft ze bijgedragen aan hèt Spoken word boek Hardop (Atlas, 2019).<br />Daarnaast heeft James aan verschillende andere publicaties bijgedragen; Stichting Kaihan (Ministerie van Sociale Zaken, 2011), DICHTER (Plint, 2018 en 2019), FREE HERI HERI (Kip Republic, 2019), , Atlas van Herdenken ( Wij zijn Amsterdam, 2023), Kala Pani (Wereldmuseum, 2024), Het grote Caribische Verhalen Boek (Querido, 2024).<br />Haar werk richt zich op thema’s als identiteit, metafysica en de Afro- en Indo- Caribische diaspora binnen ons sociaal domein. Hoewel haar schrijven begint op papier, eindigen haar teksten daar niet altijd. Ze werkt graag interdisciplinair en werkt daarom ook graag met andere makers. Samenwerkingen met artiesten als Hans Dulfer, Alida Dors, Ira Kip, het Nederlands Blazers Ensemble, Michael Varenkamp, Babs Gons en Richard Kofi hebben haar creatieve horizon verbreed. Als Poetic Designer gebruikt ze haar teksten als bron voor audiovisuele kunstinstallaties, voice-overs, muziek, theater, dans en film.</p><p><strong>Wessel Klootwijk</strong><br />Wessel Klootwijk (1993) is een Rotterdamse schrijver, dichter en verhalenverteller met een bouwkundige achtergrond. Hij vangt vergankelijke momenten in taal, maakt woordkunst tastbaar in exposities en brengt de stad tot leven op het podium. Zijn werk beweegt tussen het alledaagse en het weidse, het liefdevolle en het kritische — altijd met oog voor de schoonheid die je bijna zou missen. Zowel schrijvend als sprekend zet hij de gewoonste dingen in hun schoonste licht.<br />Met wortels in Papendrecht, vertakkingen in Dordrecht en een hart in Rotterdam, bouwt hij bruggen tussen mens, natuur en gebouw, herinnering en vooruitzicht. Als performer en presentator brengt hij verhalen tot leven, van spoken word tot geschreven poëzie en proza. Een schrijver tussen haringmarkt en havenlicht. Waar iedereen een letter is uit een verschillend alfabet, dicht hij graag de spatie.</p><p><strong><a target='_blank' href="https://www.instagram.com/escashh/">Esca$h</a></strong><br />Esca$h is een elektronische popartiest uit Zwolle die muziek maakt voor mensen die vaak buiten de boot vallen.

Moving away from the fixed stage, each edition constructs an immersive environment where artists, audiences and spaces become entangled in a shared world.</p><p>This edition is co-curated and produced in collaboration with Amsterdam-based collective <strong>TREVOGA</strong>.</p><p>Step through the threshold SPELL_LOCKET and TREVOGA create for you and enter a maze of interconnected experiences, where each work gradually unfolds into the next.</p><p>This night has three acts:  Acidic Male (live set); <em>XX-63</em>, a dance-theatre piece from TREVOGA; and a hybrid DJ set from k0priva. Expect industrial sound, intense physicality, hypnotic rhythms, and a space where synthetic pleasure comes with an anxious aftertaste.</p><p>SPELL_LOCKET and TREVOGA go rogue, taking theatre off-stage and into the cracks between DIY, the club and high-brow art.<br />_____________</p><p><strong>ACTS</strong><br /><strong>TREVOGA — XX-63</strong><br />TREVOGA is a multidisciplinary collective based in Amsterdam whose work exists between dance, theatre, sound and visual art.  From dreamers to doomers and affect aliens drawn towards intensity, TREVOGA is a community of movers who resist convention. Baked in a vestibule of Hell, Trevoga’s second 'danced-theatre piece', <em>XX-63</em>, inhabits &quot;the exhausted afterlife of counterculture&quot;. Through repetition and aborted gestures, XX-63 takes you into a standstill suspended between dreamstate and delay, where euphoric repetition begins to feel tight, and withdrawal becomes not merely a symptom, but a tactic.</p><p>https://vimeo.com/trevogameansanxiety/xx-63?share=copy</p><p><strong>ACIDIC MALE</strong><br />Acidic Male moves between industrial sound, hypnotic rhythms, noise and experimental vocals, inhabiting the tension between softness and abrasion, violence and comfort, seduction and collapse. Through themes of sexuality, shame, revenge and bodily memory, sound becomes a means of rupture and altered perception, ultimately returning to the body’s capacity to transform.</p><p><strong>k0priva</strong><br />k0priva is an entity inhabiting the space between DJ set, ritual and sonic storytelling. Moving through hypnotic, industrial and visceral rhythms, she builds unstable worlds where seduction, tension and release slowly take possession of the body.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Frontaal x The Writer&#x2019;s Guide: Community Care: met Za&#xEF;re Krieger oa</title><link>https://worm.org/production/frontaal-x-the-writers-guide-community-care-met-zaire-krieger-oa/</link><description><![CDATA[18/10/2026 in Rotterdam.

Hoe kun je nog kunst maken wanneer er een genocide plaatsvindt, schrijven over een toekomst wanneer die toekomst alles behalve zeker is, op de barricade springen wanneer het keer op keer blijkt dat je protesten terzijde worden geschoven? Misschien heeft het niet zoveel zin meer om te schrijven voor een betere wereld, misschien is het beste wat we nu kunnen doen zorgen voor elkaar, voor onze community. In deze speciale editie van Frontaal x The Writer’s Guide gaan we onderzoeken wat voor rol community en care spelen in het leven van jonge schrijvers. Wat kunnen we doen voor elkaar, hoe zorgen we voor elkaar en hoe ondersteunen we elkaar als schrijvers en (intersectionele) feministen?</p><p><strong><a target='_blank' href="https://www.instagram.com/zairekrieger">Zaïre Krieger</a></strong> treedt op en gaat onder begeleiding van <strong><a target='_blank' href="https://www.instagram.com/mosh212">Mojdeh Feili</a></strong> in gesprek met drie jonge schrijvers (die toevallig, of niet zo toevallig, allemaal les van haar hebben of hebben gehad): <strong><a target='_blank' href="https://www.instagram.com/kylielyandra">Kylie Lyandra</a></strong>, <strong><a target='_blank' href="https://www.instagram.com/gauridevim">Gauri Malhoe</a></strong> en <strong><a target='_blank' href="https://www.instagram.com/anissaelmzz">Anissa El Mazouzi</a></strong>.

The screenings open with an introductory talk and eating instructions, followed by an informal Q&amp;A around drinks, and sharing stories our experiences and of course, our feelings.</p><p>The result of a fruitful research on female directors in Eastern Europe during the Iron Curtain, this is the second screening of this mini-series introducing you to the world of cinematic possibilities that were open to women during this complicated time.</p><p><strong>Varijacije 5’<br />dir. Tatjana Ivančić<br />1975, Yugoslavia, Short film, Documentary</strong><br />Tatjana Ivančić (1913-1986). Ivancic made around seventy Super 8mm films in just two decades (1960-1980), with a Russian camera that her son had stopped using. With all the freedom that comes with amateur filmmaking, her work had a successful run on the amateur film festival circuit in the former Yugoslavia. Always based on her daily life, Ivancic's work poetically rescues the beauty of nature, of small things, small flashes of light among the mundane and Variations is no different. A short and mesmerising slice of life.</p><p><strong>Ceiling / Strop 40’<br />dir. Vera Chytilova<br />1962 Czechoslovakia, Short film, Documentary</strong><br />Strop (Ceiling, 1962) is a medium-length film written and directed by Věra Chytilová as her graduation project at Prague's FAMU academy.</p><p>The film follows Marta (played by non-actress Marta Kaňkovská), a young woman who abandons medical school to work as a fashion model in Prague. Though her life appears glamorous and comfortable on the surface, she becomes increasingly disillusioned by the superficiality, objectification, and sexism inherent in the fashion industry. Trapped in a cycle of dull, repetitive runway shows and routine interactions with condescending men, Marta feels alienated and stifled. A chance encounter with a former medical school peer and a night out with her boyfriend force her to confront the figurative &quot;ceiling&quot; limiting her personal freedom and potential. Stop explores Chytilová’s favourite theme - emancipation. Many of the female characters in Chytilová’s films battle, often in vain, to extricate themselves from an existential stereotype. This documentary-style film also features a number of future celebrities of the Czechoslovak New Wave film scene, including fellow FAMU students Jiří Menzel and Miloš Forman.</p><p>The screening is accompanied by an unconventional buffet inspired by the work of Polish artist Natalia LL, &quot;Consumer Art&quot; (1972), and a Polaroid photo shoot with her staple props: bananas and vanilla pudding.<br />Food: the menu consists of snacks and will be vegan. for any allergy concerns and inquiries, you can e-mail: alina.turdean [at] gmail.com<br />Colour &amp; dress code: black &amp; white, fashion victim empowerment.</p><p>40 spots, no door sale.<br /><strong>Cineville valid, extra €5,- for buffet</strong></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Left of the Dial Festival 2026 Day 1</title><link>https://worm.org/production/left-of-the-dial-festival-2026-day-1/</link><description><![CDATA[22/10/2026 in Rotterdam.

Erica Dawn Lyle is a writer, curator, experimental musician, and cultural instigator who lives in New York and Los Angeles. The former touring guitar player for Bikini Kill, as a solo performer Lyle has released musical collaborations with Kim Gordon, The Raincoats, Bernadette Mayer, Kathleen Hanna, Kim Deal, Brontez Purnell, and many more. She also performs in the free jazz//activist duo, MYKAWARA, with drummer, Marshall Trammell. Lyle is the author of <em>Streetopia</em> (Booklyn, 2015) and a contributor to Artforum, Art in America, Frieze, and other publications. Her most recent publication is the chapbook, <em>The Knight of Cups</em> (Beladonna Press, 2023).

Their performances unfold as a shifting field between raw energy and subtle moments within pure improvisation.<br />Tokyo-based artist <strong>Reona</strong> treats tap dance as a sonic instrument. Through the contact of tap shoes and wooden boards, metal sheets, chains, steel bowls, plastic bags, and loudspeakers, she constructs dense rhythmic textures and raw sound surfaces. Her impulses travel directly through the body, from legs to arms to breath, transforming movement into sound and sound into choreography.<br />Berlin-based artist <strong>Grgur Savić</strong> works between sound, visual art, and technology. His practice explores the physicality of sound through the deconstruction and preparation of instruments, graphic scores, and the transformation of found materials into hybrid sound–text structures. Across formats, his work listens for how sound, text, and objects can be coded, re-coded, and ultimately re-heard.<br />In their collaboration, rhythm fractures into noise, objects become instruments, and movement becomes composition. Listening becomes physical, and the stage transforms into a space where sound, gesture, and matter unfold in real time.

Erica Dawn Lyle komt uit New York en Los Angeles. Ze is schrijver, curator en experimenteel muzikant.<br />Lyle was jarenlang de tourgitarist van Bikini Kill. Als solo artiest werkte ze samen met onder anderen Kim Gordon, The Raincoats, Bernadette Mayer, Kathleen Hanna, Kim Deal en Brontez Purnell. Ook speelt ze in het freejazz/activistische duo MYKAWARA, samen met drummer Marshall Trammell.<br />Lyle is de auteur van Streetopia (Booklyn, 2015) en schrijft onder andere voor Artforum, Art in America en Frieze.

Hun optredens bewegen zich tussen rauwe energie en momenten van pure improvisatie.<br />De in Tokio gevestigde kunstenaar <strong>Reona</strong> gebruikt tapdans als een muziekinstrument. Door contact van haar tapschoenen op houten planken, metalen platen, kettingen, stalen schalen, plastic zakken en luidsprekers, creëert ze ritmische structuren en rauwe geluidslandschappen. Haar impulsen bewegen rechtstreeks door haar lichaam, van benen naar armen en ademhaling, waarbij beweging verandert in geluid en geluid in choreografie.<br />Kunstenaar <strong>Grgur Savić</strong>  uit Berlijn beweegt zich tussen geluid, beeldende kunst en technologie. In zijn werk onderzoekt hij de fysieke kant van geluid door instrumenten uit elkaar te halen en opnieuw te bewerken en gevonden materialen om te vormen tot hybride structuren van geluid en tekst. In verschillende vormen onderzoekt hij hoe geluid, tekst en objecten gecodeerd, opnieuw gecodeerd en uiteindelijk opnieuw gehoord kunnen worden.<br />In hun samenwerking verandert ritme in ruis, worden objecten instrumenten en wordt beweging compositie. Luisteren wordt iets lichamelijks en het podium verandert in een plek waar geluid, beweging en materiaal zich in real time ontvouwen.<br />Krijg alvast een indruk van hun werk via <a target='_blank' href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ustzcAvvR4">hier</a>.</p><p><strong>LET OP</strong> neem je eigen drankjes mee!

Leiden film scholar Dani van Duin hand-picks rarely screened gems especially for WORM, the kind of cinema you won't catch anywhere else on the big screen.<br />This edition opens with the short film Pimple (original title: Borbulha), winner of Best Short at BUTFF 2026. This 4-minute Portuguese short, directed by Fernando Alle, follows a young boy whose pimple bursts, leading to a bloody disaster. Short, gnarly, and the perfect warm-up for what's to come.</p><p>Then it's time for the main feature: La Cosa en la Niebla (The Thing in the Fog), winner of Best Feature at BUTFF 2026. This incredibly creative single-location horror comedy proves you don't need a big budget to build an entire universe.<br />Trapped in an increasingly strange space, Ismael and Daniela must face unexplained signals, absurd decisions, and a threat that seems to come from somewhere else: the Audreys, an alien presence whose invasion could put all of humanity at risk.<br />With a B-movie spirit, dark humor and a clear genre drive, La Cosa en la Niebla turns a single location into its own universe: a closed cockpit where the absurd, the cosmic and the human collide as the threat of the Audreys becomes inevitable. A genre film contained in form but ambitious in imagination, where two unlikely characters end up facing the fate of all humankind.<br />Don't miss it: an evening of blood, absurdity, and alien chaos, only at WORM.</p><p><strong>NL</strong><br />BUTFF x CULTfilm: La Cosa en la Niebla + Pimple<br />WORM, Rotterdam<br />BUTFF x CULTfilm is jouw maandelijkse filmavond voor underground en trash cinema!

Deze Portugese kortfilm van 4 minuten, geregisseerd door Fernando Alle, volgt een jonge jongen wiens puistje barst — met een bloederige ramp als gevolg. Kort, confronterend en precies de juiste opwarmer voor wat volgt.</p><p>Daarna is het tijd voor de hoofdfilm: La Cosa en la Niebla (The Thing in the Fog), winnaar van Best Feature op BUTFF 2026. Deze ongelooflijk creatieve horrorkomedie speelt zich af op één enkele locatie en bewijst dat je geen grote budgetten nodig hebt om een compleet universum te bouwen.<br />Ismael en Daniela zitten gevangen in een steeds vreemdere ruimte en worden geconfronteerd met onverklaarbare signalen, absurde beslissingen en een dreiging die van elders lijkt te komen: de Audreys, een buitenaardse aanwezigheid wiens invasie de hele mensheid in gevaar kan brengen.<br />Met een echte B-film-spirit, donkere humor en een messcherpe genre-drive verandert La Cosa en la Niebla één afgesloten cockpit in een compleet eigen kosmos, waar het absurde, het kosmische en het menselijke op elkaar botsen terwijl de dreiging van de Audreys onvermijdelijk wordt. Een film die qua vorm compact is, maar in verbeeldingskracht grenzeloos — waarin twee onwaarschijnlijke hoofdpersonen uiteindelijk het lot van de hele mensheid moeten dragen.</p><p>Mis het niet: een avond vol bloed, absurditeit en buitenaardse chaos, alleen bij WORM.</p><p>*<em>Cineville valid at the door and online the day of the screening!</em></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>13 Ensemble with Ester F.

They own our hospitals, our nurseries, our schools, our farmland, our wind farms. Their reach stretches from formerly public utilities to the houses we rent and the food we eat. In doing so, they have reshaped capitalism in their own image – all by using debt as a weapon to produce vast returns for the companies that own and control them.</p><p>On Tuesday, November 3, we welcome acclaimed Guardian journalist Hettie O’Brien, author of <em>The Asset Class: How Private Equity Turned Capitalism Against Itself</em>. In the book, she takes readers on a thrilling, eye-opening investigation into this secretive wing of the finance industry, revealing how it is reshaping our everyday lives and how power and wealth now operate. She follows the money across continents and examines how a hidden group of dealmakers created a weapon of economic mass destruction that might yet blow up our financial system.</p><p><strong>Hettie O’Brien</strong> is a lead writer and Opinion editor at the Guardian, and a regular contributor at the Guardian Long Read.

The Radia Network, Poetry International, Soundtrackcity, Vrooom, etc.) He started out as an 'unconventional' rock musician, playing in bands like Trespassers W and Dull Schicksal. In later years he turned more and more to electronic, improvised music and sound art, although he still has a weak spot for his version of rock, and he is playing with people like Nina Hitz, Ergo Phizmiz, Pierre Bastien, GW Sok, Henk Bakker, Jim Whelton, Lucinda Guy, GJ Prins and the Bohman Brothers. Other groups and projects include Coolhaven (electro performance trash), Stepmother, Vril (songs), Static Tics (electronics) and Kruk (improv perfo).</p><p>Christine Cornwell is a facilitator and musicker who loves to bring together different people to make noise, play, and create as collectively as possible.

This interdisciplinary experiment aims to bring together humans and machines in an improvised dialogue of sound and form, investigating the intersection of their distinct understandings, responses, relating and diﬀerences. It also serves as a platform for cross-cultural exchange, showcasing diverse artistic approaches by bringing artists from different cultural backgrounds. *Curated by katarina kadijević and Shawn Wong who met during their studies at the Institute of Sonology. *</p><p><strong>Anamaria Bagarić (dance) &amp; Karmen Ponikvar (sound) will present their project The World Tethers</strong><br />The World Tethers is a contemporary dance and live music performance by Anamaria<br />Bagarić, in collaboration with sound artist Karmen Ponikvar. Informed by butoh, it is a physical manifestation of the ongoing flow of thoughts and the body’s response to the world around it. With the back as its central focus, movement and sound interact to give physical form to an inner monologue. Anamaria Bagarić (1991) is an author, choreographer, and dancer in the contemporary dance field. Karmen Ponikvar (1994) is a Slovenian sound artist working at the intersection of electronic and electroacoustic music.<br /><a target='_blank' href="https://www.youtube.com/watch">https://www.youtube.com/watch</a></p><p><strong>Mar Fu Qi (dance) &amp; Weiyan Low (sound) will share their collaborative Grounds</strong><br />Grounds merges two narratives of displacement and belonging through experimental sound<br />and dance performed by interdisciplinary duo Mar Fu Qi and Weiyan Low. We follow Mar’s<br />reflections of her journey wandering through Shaoguan, China; the birthplace she never got to truly know as she grew up in The Netherlands. Weiyan uses Feedback as an anthropic vehicle for transition and estrangement, constructing a world of oscillating soundscapes and birdsong around Mar’s field recordings. With no-input mixing, effects, and percussion, he crafts a narrative of a bird extracted from the forest making sense of its alien surroundings, its song distorts, warps as it searches for kin. Mar Fu Qi is a dancer, photographer, and performance artist. Born in Guangdong, China, and raised in the Netherlands. Weiyan Low is a visual anthropologist and sound artist based in Den Haag</p><p><strong>The third act will be improvisation from all artists of the night and Shawn Wong who will join them with his sound presence.</strong></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Electric Umbrella #34: Territorial Gobbing (UK), Zheng Hao (UK) &amp; Lawrence McGuire (Rdam)</title><link>https://worm.org/production/electric-umbrella-34-territorial-gobbing-uk-zheng-hao-uk-lawrence-mcguire-rdam/</link><description><![CDATA[15/11/2026 in Rotterdam.

They are very eccentric, super technical, funny, and highly productive young voices in their near fields; inspiration guaranteed. Trash perceptualist, sensitively dadaist, ordinary surrealist, structural intuitionist, materialist simulationist, seriously unserious music.<br />A special one to broaden listening; and for an in-house special, they will improvise as a first-time trio after their solo sets.  Come for a cold beer and a warm welcome at Worm’s UBIK.</p><p><strong>Territorial Gobbing</strong><br />Experimental performer and improviser in the art-damaged post-fluxus vein. High emotion process driven absurdist music and noise-poetry built from tape gunk, voice, bell and whistles. With various albums on Chocolate Monk, Opal Tapes and Scatter Archive.<br /><a target='_blank' href="https://territorialgobbing.bandcamp.com/">https://territorialgobbing.bandcamp.com/</a></p><p><strong>Zheng Hao</strong><br />Born in Wuhan; lives in London. Mostly uses electronics for solo and small group improvisation, while other times also makes unpleasant computer dance music. Enjoys gritty and gnarly textures as well as delicate, amorphous qualities in different sound and space.<br /><a target='_blank' href="https://zhenghao.bandcamp.com//">https://zhenghao.bandcamp.com/</a></p><p><strong>Lawrence McGuire</strong><br />Living in Rotterdam, Lawrence McGuire works with the presence of voice in text, symbol and sound. His works errand into text-sound, text-print, text-image and always culminates into a work that is voiced either by his own mouth or by others in a private or public setting. Most works are iterative efforts on creating a vocality by other means. He can be found collaborating with other sound poets, voice researchers, playwrights, musicians among others.<br /><a target='_blank' href="https://hogobogobogoo.bandcamp.com/">https://hogobogobogoo.bandcamp.com/</a></p><p><em>curated by Ege Sahin</em></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>INTRUSION: Radio-cinema for the Ears</title><link>https://worm.org/production/intrusion-radio-cinema-for-the-ears/</link><description><![CDATA[22/11/2026 in Rotterdam.

In 1998 he founded his own record label Gagarin Records. Over the last two decades, he has released numerous albums of different conceptual formats and played at well over hundred international contemporary music festivals. Felix Kubin likes to move between high and low culture, clubs and concert halls, as his main concern is the shifting of contexts and expectations.</p><p><strong>About WORM Sound Studio and Radio WORM</strong><br />WORM SOUND STUDIOS and the WAVEFORM RESEARCH CENTRE are internationally celebrated production spaces, part of a wider alternative network in the fields of radio art and underground music.

This new one tells the story of music scenes that kept going under authoritarian rule, from Ethiopia, North Korea and Kenya to the USA and beyond. It is about how those in power try to control music, and how people slip past them: through samizdat tapes, secret messages hidden in pop songs, and DIY scenes that connect communities under pressure. Along the way you'll also see some unintentionally hilarious musical attempts by fascists and states, and hear about the uneasy relationship between New Age music and fascism.</p><p>Expect archival film, sound clips and images, and a host with a humble, comic way of digging up buried treasures and the odd stories behind them. Eric draws on his own experience of the fascist creep, but there is very little grandstanding.</p><p>Eric founded Mississippi Records in Portland, Oregon, and in twenty-three years has released over 390 records and 165 mixtapes of DIY music from around the world: punk, African guitar griots, Greek criminal underground music, deep country blues, gospel, spiritual jazz and more. For its first seventeen years the label had no website or social media and ran a cash only record shop, and it still sold over a million records.</p><p>Tickets: €10 (door + online)</p><p><strong>Cineville valid at the door and online on the day itself.</strong></p><p>......</p><p>Al twaalf jaar reist Eric Isaacson rond met presentaties die deels diavoorstelling, deels lezing en deels filmscreening zijn. In deze nieuwe editie vertelt hij het verhaal van muziekscènes die doorgingen onder autoritair bewind, van Ethiopië, Noord-Korea en Kenia tot de VS en verder. Het gaat over hoe de machthebbers muziek proberen te controleren, en hoe mensen daar omheen glippen: met samizdat-tapes, geheime boodschappen verstopt in popliedjes en DIY-scènes die gemeenschappen onder druk met elkaar verbinden. Onderweg zie je ook een aantal onbedoeld hilarische muzikale pogingen van fascisten en staten, en hoor je over de verontrustende band tussen new agemuziek en fascisme.</p><p>Verwacht archiefbeeld, geluidsfragmenten en foto's, en een presentator met een bescheiden, komische manier van schatten opgraven en de vreemde verhalen erachter vertellen. Eric put uit zijn eigen ervaringen met het sluipende fascisme, maar grootspraak is er nauwelijks.</p><p>Eric richtte Mississippi Records op in Portland, Oregon, en bracht in drieëntwintig jaar ruim 390 platen en 165 mixtapes uit met DIY-muziek van over de hele wereld: punk, Afrikaanse gitaargriots, Griekse criminele underground, diepe country blues, gospel, spiritual jazz en meer. De eerste zeventien jaar had het label geen website of sociale media en een platenwinkel waar alleen contant werd betaald, en toch verkocht het meer dan een miljoen platen.</p><p><strong>Cineville geldig aan de deur en online op de dag zelf!</strong></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>WORM MEGAZine Launch</title><link>https://worm.org/production/kunstavond-worm-megazine-launch/</link><description><![CDATA[26/11/2026 in Rotterdam.

Many people don't see what happens behind the scenes and who drives these initiatives.<br />To give them the spotlight, WORM decided to start a series of interviews with our colleagues, friends and allies. After all, without them, WORM would be half the institution it is! From these interviews and other content, WORM has made a zine - the MEGAzine - which captures WORM's spirit. Our designers Sevgi &amp; Polina added extra fun content and wrapped it up in a classic WORM design.</p><p>We launch the MEGAzine - on WORM's <strong>expEnded love</strong> evening. Everything is highly informal and very spontaneous, so just come down and say hi, and pick up a copy!</p><p><strong>(NL)</strong></p><p>Pak een exemplaar van onze nieuwe zine!<br />Binnen in WORM gebeurt van alles: van analoge films maken, synthworkshops en samen zingen tot creatieve bijeenkomsten, kunstclubs en elke dag vegan koken voor onze bezoekers.<br />Veel mensen zien niet wat er achter de schermen gebeurt en wie al deze initiatieven eigenlijk mogelijk maakt.<br />Daarom zetten we deze mensen nu in de spotlight. WORM is begonnen met een serie interviews met onze collega’s, vrienden en bondgenoten. Want zonder hen zou WORM niet de plek zijn die het nu is!</p><p>Uit deze interviews en andere verhalen heeft WORM een zine gemaakt: de MEGAzine. Een zine die de sfeer en energie van WORM neerzet. Onze designers Sevgi &amp; Polina hebben er nog wat leuks aan toegevoegd en geven het een echte WORM-look.</p><p>We brengen de MEGAzine tijdens de <strong>expEnded love</strong> uit.
