Roze Filmdagen Summer Program
Celebrate summer with cinema that moves, sparks and connects!
This summer, Pink Film Days invites you on a queer film journey filled with love, resistance, beauty and celebration. Together with partners like Queer Sounds From the Past, World Press Photo, House of Bodega and Asian Pride, we present a vibrant line-up of summer screenings, sneak previews, and a one-night-only mini-festival in the Bijlmer.
Don’t miss the sneak preview of the sensual SEBASTIAN, revisit 90s British tenderness in Beautiful Thing, or dive into the poetic activism of National Anthem. Dance into the night with What A Feeling (introduced by Annefleur Schipper), and join us in the Bijlmer Parktheater for a high-energy mini-festival showcasing bold BIPOC queer stories. Finally, we kick off Asian Pride with a very special screening of Andrew Ahn's current telling of The Wedding Banquet (2025).
Whether you're here to laugh, cry, dance, reflect—or all of the above—the summer belongs to us all.
