The Pink Film Days (Roze Filmdagen) is the foremost LGBTQ film festival in Amsterdam. This event, taking place at the Ketelhuis at the Westergasfabriek, brings together works from international gay cinema, from mainstream favourites to hidden gems.

Largest LGBTQ Film Festival in Amsterdam

The festival offers not only feature-length films, documentaries and shorts, but also debates and talks by special guests. The festival usually takes place in March, but due to the pandemic, it has been rescheduled in a reduced version, called Pink Film Days Redux. The film days are:

• July 25
• August 29
• September 18
• September 19
• September 20

International, interactive, inclusive

The festival is renowned for its ability to bring out voices that may not normally be heard. The main goal of this unique film festival is to screen inspiring movies that viewers can reflect on and at the same time, to become a social event where visitors can interact with each other. 

Many of the films are in English and the films that are in other languages have English subtitles. The language of each film will be stated in the programme.

About Westergas and the Ketelhuis

Westergas is the cultural hub in Amsterdam’s Westerpark that includes spaces such as the legendary Gashouder, as well as the arthouse cinema, the Ketelhuis. With a history stretching back to 1902, the impressive site plays host to many film festivals and cultural events, making it a perfect fit for Pink Film Days. 

Many events and festivals take place at the Westergas, such as World Press Photo and the IamExpat Fair - Amsterdam each year.
