Cinemanita and other “underground cinemas”.

Neiuwe Anita is a pub located in Frederik Hendrikstr 111 (oud west) where every week Jeffrey proposes a movie from the database of his mind.
Jeffrey studied cinema in San Francisco and moved to Amsterdam. His first experience took place in a squat located in Leidsestraat but after a while the place was evicted.

The “underground cinema” was reborne at De Niuwe Anita (DNA), every Monday (bar open 19.30, entree € 2,50). It is a perfect place where you can relax with a beer or a tea while watching a movie that never ever will bore you.
Usually at the Niuwe Anita there’s live music 3 days a week.

Now the question is: where is Jeffrey during the rest of the week?
Jeffrey is also active with his “underground cinema at OT301 (Sunday night, 20,30, 4€ for entrance) and at CAVIA (Thursday, 20.30, entree 4€… really fair!).

Well, I could say many things about these places and this smart guy, but I prefer his words:
“No rush: I like a cinema from underground, something able to awaken heart and brain.” (I hope I noted it straight!)

Doei.

Waterlooplein Flea Market

It has been opened in 1893 as a Jewish Market who has been closed in 1941 with the  Jews persecutions. Reopened like a general bazaar after the War, during the ‘60 become an important node for the hippy’s scene and the youth culture in general.
