What does technology do to us—and to society? What can films like Princess Mononoke, Solaris, Iron Man, Paterson, and Past Lives tell us about it? In collaboration with independent think-tank Socires,we present KINOsofie: a film series exploring the impact of technology through cinema. Each screening will be introduced by a leading thinker, inviting you to watch, reflect, and discuss the future of our society.
The fossil industry is a necessary evil. We all drive cars, we all use plastic, right? Good and evil are never black and white in the climate debate. There are many shades of gray. Or are these just the stories that the same industry is all too happy to make us believe? Fleur Jongepier is a philosopher and freelance publicist. She has written for several Dutch newspapers such as Trouw and Volkskrant. In 2025, her book ‘Berghonger’ (Longing for the Mountains) will be published by publisher De Bezige Bij.
