For our opening night at Wanakam, we are gathering in the dim light of our Amsterdam Oost sanctuary to witness a masterpiece of South Indian Parallel Cinema.

This evening is a journey into the lush, emerald landscapes of 1970s Kerala. It is a story of folklore and transformation, following a legendary, half-mythical wanderer who arrives in a small village like a seasonal breeze. Through a series of magical encounters, the local children are transformed into animals—blurring the lines between the human spirit and the natural world.

It is a film about the fleeting nature of childhood, the wisdom found in ancient fables, and the deep, spiritual connection we have with the earth. Known for its breathtaking visual rhythm and a soundtrack that feels like a lullaby from another lifetime, this is "slow cinema" at its most enchanting.

A Little Mystery: To respect our screening license, we aren't naming the film publicly. Curious about the title? All will be revealed in your confirmation email once you’ve registered.


Evening Details

  • The Vibe: Ethereal, nostalgic, and deeply peaceful.

  • Food & Drink: Our usual selection of Short Eats (savory snacks) will be available at the counter throughout the night. For those wanting a full meal, we are offering a special dinner ticket.

  • The Atmosphere: We invite you to settle in, leave the rush of the city at the door, and lose yourself in the vibrant greens and earthy textures of the Malabar coast.

Tickets & Booking

We want our community space to be accessible to everyone, so we offer two ways to join us:

  • Community Ticket (Free): Entry to the screening and the post-film conversation.

  • Dinner & Film Ticket (€14,50): Includes entry plus a hearty Curry Bowl (your choice of Protein or Vegan), served with fragrant rice and a seasonal side dish.
