Pluk de Nacht Film Festival

Amsterdam open-air cinema

A huge screen shows national and international feature films, documentaries, short films, and animations that have not (yet) been shown in cinemas in the Netherlands. The secret of Pluk de Nacht's success is its initiators, a group of friends with a great love for film. They select gems from various film festivals that have not been released in the Netherlands or have only reached a small audience.

From your lazy beach chair

On the Stenen Hoofd city beach (a stone's throw from Central Station), you can watch films with a great view of the IJ.

The festival site is open for evening films from 19:00. It may be a little earlier on weekends (and in warm weather); keep an eye on the social channels. The films start at 21:00.

Pluk de Nacht Mini Programme

In 2024, children can enjoy the offer for big kids and little ones with the Pluk Mini program on three afternoons/evenings.

On Friday evening, from 19:00, the older children (9+) and their friends can enjoy movie night, and on Saturday evening, Pluk is ready for the over-12s.

The titles for these two evenings have now been announced; check the program. These film evenings cost €5 per child, including a soft drink! Book your ticket quickly; you can read how on the film page of the film in question. Parents can enjoy themselves outside, at the bar or by a fire.

View the Pluk de Nacht site for more information and to reserve your ticket. The entrance fee covers the rental of your beach chair, the movie and a nice drink!
