Cinema and film

In Amsterdam, film isn't just entertainment - it's an experience. Watch indie flicks from a beanbag under the stars, attend a horror film marathon in a former gasworks, or explore virtual reality films at Europe’s largest documentary festival. The city has some of Europe's quirkiest independent film houses, with festivals taking film to unexpected places - literally.

Don't miss a thing during your trip!
