On the last sundays of october FATFORM will present several documentaries and invites you to join us for these intimate but mind boggeling screenings. In a comfortable setting we'll watch and discuss some pressing issues of our times. So be welcome to share your views with us or just come over, lean back and enjoy the rainy sundays with a worthwhile kino, drinks and bites!

23 OCTOBER 2011: Taste the Waste
A film by Valentin Thurn about the worldwide destruction of food. Why do we throw away so much? And how can we stop this kind of waste? Daniela Bershan, artist & researcher who created the organic and sculptural K-Tuin on FATFORM this summer, will get into the sustainability issue with us.
30 OCTOBER 2011: Reggae Brittannia
A film that celebrates the impact of reggae, the changes it brought about and its lasting musical legacy. Tim de Wreede, founder of Sensiriti Sound and specialist on reggae/dubplate culture will elaborate on the toppic and share his views with us.
30 OCTOBER 2011: All we ever wanted
A film by Sarah Domogala about young, creative, ambitious people living the big-city-life. They seem to have it all with their great looks, fashionable outfits and careers that are taking off. But what's behind this picture perfect? We'll invite a special guest who will get into this toppic of succes and our times with us.

K-Zone Kino is supported by Stadsdeel Amsterdam Zuidoost & Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst.

And finally... after speculating on it all 'summer' we got our sunny day! A beautiful occasion for some Caraibian vibes. Our blissed Sensiriti Sound presented a FAT line-up! Big up to Jahva sound (Den Haag), Crucial Warrior Sound (Leiden), Sensiriti Sound (Amsterdam),Riddim Shower Hi Fi Power (Amsterdam), Manjah Fyah (90 degree sound, Italy), DJ Spitfire(getmixed radio), DJ Ras Sjamaan (getmixed radio), Rodney Kool(rass bass sound), Versatile Child and Nedra for coming out and making our day. And of course for FATFORM it's all in the mix! So there was visual art by FUCK artist Robert Dupic, who tuned into the frequency of the day with his unique audio installation. Also the new series Suburban Knights by photographer Hervé Hubert was on display. Through these photo's he tells the stories of local Bijlmer heroes. And on top of it all FATFORM was proud to present the premiere of autodidact artist RR Stern! First exhibition and already a work sold, you should do this more often Mister Stern..
Last but not least we warmly thank Stadsdeel Amsterdam Zuidoost, Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst en Straat van Sculpturen for supporting us and of course all the other peeps who help us out all the time. 
FATFORM loves you!

Bijlmer-based artist Bert Jacobs and filmmaker/designer Jeffrey Croese were showing their first exhibition together. And what a show it was! Bert & Jeff showed us how their collaboration evolved from their applied practice of their previous collaborations and made a daring and fantastic jump into autonomy with two new pieces consisting of painting and video that they made especially for their show at FATFORM.  

The music was giving us chills. Old school cat M.D. took us on an ACAPELLA tour to the heart of Hip Hop poetry and we enjoyed o.a. the great talent of CIA FUNKY FRESH, BLUE, KNOWLEDGE and last but not least mister M.D. himself. Naked and honest the MC's showed us the volunerable side of Hip Hop and FATFORM would like to thank all the MC's for making the first edition of ACAPELLA such a great success! On the decks were Baba Electronica, Sensiriti Sound and DJ Lonely. Another magical day for all of us at FATFORM!

We all love Daniela Bershan for the beautiful idea of shaping her artproject into the K-Tuin this season! The garden not only gives balance to all the concrete jungle around us, it also feeds us and our guests, it educates us about mother nature, the birds and the bee's and it definately keeps us busy.. Big up Dani, FATFORM & K-Zone Purple City love you!

Milton Hasselnook a.k.a. Sensei Milton joined forces! This local Taekwondo master teaches boys and girls up to their black belt and beyond.. beware! It's amazing to see this  physical and mental power explosion upon the roof. So after all the music, art and drinks we offered you, now is your chance to shape up! Regard the 5 story steps as a warm-up :) 

Special thanks to neighbourhood chief Fred Kuiper for introducing him to FATFORM.

The Electrifying Mojo was a legendary radio DJ in Detroit who dominated the airwaves in the late 1970's to mid 80's
His experimental, open minded show exposed Detroit to,Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, George Clinton & P-Funk, Prince, the B-52's and many others and is credited by many of the Detroit legends as THE main reason for them getting inspiration to start making Techno...

Prince would grant MOJO interviews when nobody else could get one.
In short a VERY respected and loved DJ by artist nationwide.

We hear him open this set...doing an live introduction at a techno concert of "the Detroit Underground" to a ROAAAARING reception of his many, many thankful fans!
Finishing off with his radio signature classic!"If you're nearing the end of your rope, remember to hold on...tie a knot...and don't let go!Just keep hanging...cause there ain't nobody bad, like you bad!May the Funk be with you for always!!!Respect!!!
