Every summer the Open Air Film Festival Amsterdam presents a unique selection of unreleased independent arthouse cinema, documentary, animation and shorts, attracting both film enthousiasts and professionals. Films are projected in the open air on a beautiful old harbour location in the centre of Amsterdam. Admission to all festival activities and screenings is free.
The Open Air Film Festival Amsterdam was founded in 2003 by a group of young film professionals. Dissatisfied by seeing wonderful works of cinematic art not being picked up by Dutch distributors and cinemas, they started a film festival aimed at finding new audiences for these films.
The festival takes places on ' Het Stenen Hoofd' (The Stone Head) in Amsterdam from august 4 till 13. During ten summer days you can enjoy a wonderful selection of the best films, great food and good parties. We'll update the site soon with the full programme. Like us on Facebook or subscribe to our (mostly dutch) mailinglist.
