Amsterdam Student Film Festival
The first Amsterdam Student Film Festival (ASFF) will take place on 9 June 2023, hosted by Kriterion Filmtheater, Auccut and sponsored by Cineville. ASFF wants to offer a stage to young creatives, a space to be daring and unconventional on the screens of one of Amsterdam's oldest film theatres. Next June, a selection of the best short films will be shown to a jury and audience.

This initiative stems from CUT's 2022 film festival and Kriterion's former festival, Cinestud, where makers such as Paul Verhoeven, Roman Polanski and Martin Scorsese shared their first films. For this year's edition, the ASFF wants to pave the way for a more inclusive and interactive evening where all Amsterdam students can register. The jury, consisting of film professionals, published authors and experienced makers, will provide constructive feedback to the selected films. In this way, the ASFF wants to offer Amsterdam filmmakers and enthusiasts an opportunity to contact each other.
