Pluk de nacht
Pluk de Nacht (pronounced [ˌplʏɡ də ˈnɑxt]) is an Open Air Film Festival based in Amsterdam. Every summer the Open Air Film Festival Amsterdam presents a selection of unreleased independent arthouse cinema, documentary, animation and shorts, attracting both film enthusiasts and professionals. Films are projected in the open air on a beautiful old harbour location in the centre of Amsterdam. Admission to all festival activities and screenings is free.
The Open Air Film Festival Amsterdam was founded in 2003 by a group of young film professionals. Dissatisfied by seeing wonderful works of cinematic art not being picked up by Dutch distributors and cinemas, they started a film festival aimed at finding new audiences for these films.
