Late Night Food Guide to Amsterdam || Short Film

Abel hits the streets of Amsterdam for the best late night food in this Dutch city.

He starts the night off at an Amsterdam institution, Cafe Schiller in Rembrandt Square, for the fried balls of dough and meat known as bitterballen, or “brown gold,” before biking over to Roopram Roti, a Surinamese restaurant that serves the city’s best roti.

After a few more drinks, Abel heads to FEBO, a vending-machine restaurant that serves burgers and sandwiches, and talks to a few Amsterdam locals.

He ends the night at Metsut 2 for kapsalon, a dish invited in the Netherlands that's made up of French fries topped with shawarma.

Artist Draws Hyperrealistic Portraits Using Bic Ballpoint Pens || Short Film

Oscar Ukonu is a hyperrealistic artist in Nigeria.

He's a self-taught artist who has been creating these pieces with ballpoint pens since 2014.

Each piece can take him almost six weeks to create using three basic techniques: hatching, crosshatching, and scribbling.

He’ll switch between 10 of the same pens to create the portrait.

The theme of his work is Afro-realism, which he describes as a diverse way of viewing the African experience and identity with regards to things like gender, religion, and politics.
