creativity and the capitalist city: the struggle for affordable space in Amsterdam

documentary film with discussion

Vor-Premiere: Dokumentarfilm von Tino Buchholz, Amsterdam 2011, Englisch mit Deutschen Untertiteln, 55min. Kreativität ist schillernd, glamourös, hübsch anzusehen. Wer kann schon gegen Kreativität sein? Dieser Film thematisiert Kreativität als Strategie in hoch entwickelten, kapitalistischen Städten. Er ist auf der Suche nach bezahlbarem Wohn & Arbeitsraum in Amsterdam, wie Zwischennutzung, Hausbesetzung, Anti-Squat und einer Art institutionellen Synthese: Brutplätze in Amsterdam. Was passiert, wenn der Hype vorbei ist? Wohnen als Job oder Recht auf Stadt?

Pre-premiere: Documentary film by Tino Buchholz, Amsterdam 2011, Englisch with german subtitles, 55min. Creativity is fancy, glamorous and desirable. Who can be against creativity? At the same time it is used selectively for economic purposes and consists of precarious and hard work. In this film, the search for creativity is linked to existential struggles for affordable housing and working space in Amsterdam, such as temporary accommodation, squatting, anti-squatting and some institutional synthesis: "breeding places" Amsterdam. This film is more than a local documentary on Amsterdam. It explores the latest urban re-/development pattern in advanced Western capitalist cities - in the name of creativity. The hype around the creative city began already a decade ago, it is global in scope and about to reach its peak. After Richard Florida's influential book "The Rise of the Creative Class" (2002) creativity has advanced to be the role model of urban regeneration: The New American Dream. What is new about this dream? What happens when the hype is over? Housing as a job or the Right to the City?
