As national cinematographic centre, EYE, the new (Dutch) film museum (on Amsterdam’s waterfront) aims to promote a lively film culture in the Netherlands. It does so by collecting and restoring ‘treasures from the past’ and by screening its film collection of world-wide acclaim.
EYE's programmes include exhibitions and events examining the history of film and contemporary cinematographic developments. They screen classic and art-house movies and regularly organise open-air films, festivals, theatrical family shows and retrospectives.
A brand new film museum
EYE is reopened (5th of April 2012) in a brand new building on the banks of the River IJ. This exciting new architectural masterpiece is located across the water directly behind Central Station. It's easy to reach with the free 5-minute ferry to Buiksloterweg.
