The six best films of 2011, this Sunday in Kriterion
The past year was a good year for cinema. There were a lot of big Hollywood blockbusters that blew away our low expectations, and a lot of art-house films that appealed so much they almost turned mainstream. The most interesting thing however, is that all these films had one key element linking them; they were all either miserably sad, awfully depressing or bitterly heavyhearted. (..more)

The addiction to Facebook and email is no different than the addiction to slot machines; it's fuelled by an obsession with random rewards. Every once in a while I open my inbox, not really expecting to find anything interesting since I last checked it about four minutes ago, and suddenly there’s an exciting new email. One by a Latvian photographer I spoke to six months before, for example. (..more)
The hidden writings on corpses in the sewers, by our very own film critic Anouk
You all know her as Overdose.am’s film specialist, but Anouk has more up her sleeve than eating popcorn and writing about it. The 20th of October, her book De Almeerse Rioolmoorden will be published.

Wide open landscapes in the underground, at the On My Way exhibition
The plans for a metro tunnel from North to South Amsterdam were made in 1968, and it only took until 2003 before constructions started. Diligent as our builders are, projections say it will be finished as soon as 2017. All joking aside, that's quite a lot of time to have an empty tunnel put to no use. That's what Mothers of Art must have thought when they decided on a location for their newest exhibition. (..more)
Can hard//hoofd festival live up to their promise in the offline world?
I never actively scour their website, but I still find myself spending quite some time reading their extremely interesting and ever-pointy reports, columns and stories. Somehow they just force themselves into my daily activities by injecting my friend-stream with clever titles, confusing quotes and fascinating thumbnails. I have no choice but to click and quench my curiosity by reading every single letter on the page. (..more)
