Gathering: Isfahan Film Club x WORKNOT!

Footage Therapy
Saturday 25 October, from 2 PM onwards

Following their first event on housing and domestic life in relation to precarity and displacement, Isfahan Film Club and WORKNOT! invite you to a second gathering: Footage Therapy.

Many of us know the intensity of moving or migrating to a new city—with its unfamiliar rhythms, networks, and systems of control. Adapting to a new place often means negotiating one’s sense of identity and belonging. Yet, there are moments that interrupt this process—when our bodies slow down, when we reconnect, when we feel at home again.

Isfahan Film Club and WORKNOT! invite you to bring memories, images, or fragments that relate to this theme and to the city of Rotterdam. These could be clips from your phone, found footage, or stories spoken aloud. They don’t need to be polished – what matters is the act of sharing and listening. Together, we’ll create an intimate emotional archive of belonging in the city.

With participants’ consent, the session will be recorded and may later be developed into a collective film. The evening concludes with a shared dinner and discussion.
