Sunsets Film Festival
The Sunsets Film Festival has become a true open-air institution in Amsterdam. The backdrop of the Vondelpark, complete with creeping shadows and a cool summer breeze, provides the perfect setting to sit back and enjoy film classics on a giant screen.
For two months (15/07 – 02/09), film classics are screened every Friday night. And as the screenings take place on the Vondel Park directly opposite the Flying Pig Uptown on the pavilion terrace at the EYE Film Institute with café/restaurant Vertigo, this ultimate summer evening experience even comes with a cold drink in hand.
This year, the wildly varied programme ranges from Easy Rider (ol’ Jack’s classic role as coke-addled lawyer here tying in with EYE Film’s Jack Nicholson retrospective) through indie classics such as Juno and Bienvenue chez Les Ch’tis to faves throughout the decades – think 60s Steve McQueen classic The Thomas Crown Affair and 80s vampire flick Lost Boys.
Tickets are available one week before the show (call +31(0)20-5891400 for reservations) or on the night itself at the EYE ticket desk. Just ask our friendly receptionist for more details.
Its that time of the year again…
Each summer, Across the road from the Flying Pig Uptown, the Vondelpark’s open-air theatre hosts top concerts and performances from the world of comedy, dance, music and kid’s theatre. Located in the heart of the park, the theatre has offered free open-air performances to both Amsterdammers and visitors alike for over 30 years.
From 5 June till 28 August this year, the festival line-up once again features modern dance on Friday evenings, kid’s theatre and jazz on Saturday afternoons, and comedy on Saturday evenings. Sunday is dedicated to music, first with the classical lunch-time concert series, followed by the popular Sunday afternoon line-up ranging from pop, rock, Dutch and world music. Each performance series includes both established headliners and opening acts by fresh, new artists, giving burgeoning dance, musical and comedy talent a chance to shine.
For all you smokers out there the Flying Pig Uptown now has a brand new smoking room!!! Bigger, Better, Fresher and just as cool as the old one.
