Screening „De Zinkende Rafelrand“ De Zinkende Rafelrand is een documentaire over de eigenzinnige Baaibuurt in Amsterdam Oost die op 31 december 2024 zal verdwijnen. Het is een buurt met meerdere hechte gemeenschappen, creatieve werkplekken en vrijheid die vanaf 2025 ‘ontwikkeld’ zal moeten worden. Deze stadsvernieuwing betekent dat de Baaibuurt-West met 7 meter zand opgehoogd zal worden om de zinkende grond bouwklaar te maken voor traditionele woningbouw. Men noemt haar dan ook wel de Zinkende Rafelrand. Deze film vangt de verhalen, de gezichten en de plekken van een buurt die onder het zand dreigt te verdwijnen. De film combineert interviews met archiefmateriaal en documentaire beelden om een intiem portret te creëren van een verborgen buurt vol energie, angst maar ook hoop op een toekomst voor de stad Amsterdam waarin ook zij een plek hebben.

English

The Sinking Fringe is a documentary about the untamed Baaibuurt neighborhood in Amsterdam East that is bound to disappear on 31 December 2024. This neighborhood, a rich tapestry of free-spirited, tight-knit communities, will be ‘developed’ to remedy the housing crisis. This urban renewal plan requires raising the soil in the Baaibuurt-West by 7 meters of sand in order to prepare the sinking land for conventional urban housing. Hence, it is referred to as the Sinking Fringe. This film captures the stories, faces, and places of a neighborhood in danger of disappearing under the sand. The film combines interviews with archive footage to create an intimate portrait of a hidden neighborhood full of energy and fear but also hope for the future of the city of Amsterdam in which they, too, have a place. The Sinking Fringe is a call for action; what do we want our future cities to look like? For whom are we building? We hope this film can spark a debate on the values we aim to nurture in our cities. Team: Mirte Jepma, Alberto Morbelli, Benjamin Vanderveen, Marijn van der Eyden Language
