Pluk de Nacht Open Air Film Festival

Amsterdam's open-air film festival Pluk de Nacht (Seize the Night), returns to town from 11 to 20 August 2011 for the annual round of free outdoor cinema action.

Cinema under the stars

Now entering its seventh year, Pluk de Nacht was originally created after witnessing great talent and fine works of cinematic art miss out on getting picked up by Dutch distributors. As a result it's a breath of al-fresco air with unique offerings of not-yet-released films, animations, documentaries and shorts.

Location, location, location

This year's festival is again taking place at Het Stenen Hoofd (a short walk from Amsterdam Central Station). The pop-up multiplex will feature screenings projected on sky-high screens, in an idyllic waterside location - deckchairs, camp fires and cocktails included!

Language no problem

Genres range from absurd rom-coms to hauntingly muffled horror flicks. In terms of selection, the films have been plucked from a star crop featured at the major international film festivals and will be shown in English or subtitled during the festival.
