Sip. Reflect. Connect. Nurturing creativity through shared moments. A special collaboration between Film In Mind therapist Rebecca Day and Amsterdam’s local tea brand Three Cups Tea, co-funded by IDFA academy alumni & doc producer Ruoyao Jane Yao. Blending mindfulness with cultural exchange, we invite storytellers, filmmakers, and artists to pause, share, and connect around an Asian tea table. Amid the festival’s fast pace, this offers a calm space for creative reflection and community. The gathering is both a ceremony and a conversation. In many Eastern traditions, tea is more than a beverage, it is an act of mindfulness; a language of harmony, respect, and connection. Together, we’ll explore these ideas through a guided tea-tasting journey featuring a curated selection of premium loose-leaf teas from the misty mountains of the East to the fragrant herbal gardens of Greece, each paired with a reflective theme inspired by Rebecca’s therapeutic and creative practice.

First come, first served event with limited capacity up to 38 passholders.
