The next tram station is Anna Bijnslaan, Tram 9 in direction of Scheveningen Noord.

QSU 11-9: Film screening – Female trouble
This week we will watch the film “Female trouble”. This 1974 dark comedy has been described as a classic queer production, where most of the cast is queer and the story is deliberately political.

We are in the process of sorting out the location for the event, so if you are interested in coming along please send us an email at queerspreekuur [at] riseup.net and we will give you more information when it becomes available.

Movie Screening ‘The Patriot Game’ by Arthur MacCaig
Hey everyone!
On the 3th of September – THIS THURSDAY – there will be a movie screening (‘The Patriot Game‘) about the beginning of the troubles in Northern Ireland.
The screening starts at 19.00.
hope to see you then!
here the poster:
[Documentary by Arthur McCaig: This extraordinary and moving documentary reviews ten years of armed warfare by the IRA and places today’s headlines in their proper headlines in their political and economic context. Through vivid footage of street battles and interview with participants. The Patriot Game forcefully debunks the twin myths that the IRA is a ‘terrorist organization’ fighting ‘religious war’.]
