Pllek’s open-air cinema is back, creating an unbeatable atmosphere all summer long. Every Tuesday from May through September, Films with a View transforms this urban beach into the ultimate movie night by the river— think sand between your toes, a sunset, and cult classics under the starry sky.
A beachside cinema with a view of the skyline
Pllek’s Films with a View is one of Amsterdam’s most beloved summer traditions, and for good reason. This open-air film series takes place every Tuesday evening from May through September and brings a carefully curated selection of comedies, dramas, thrillers, and cult favorites to the city’s coolest urban beach. Pllek is located right on the banks of the IJ in Amsterdam-Noord and is known for its relaxed, eco-conscious atmosphere. And the open-air movie nights add a touch of magic to an already stunning setting! Imagine: a glowing screen, sand between your toes, the buzz of fresh cocktails, and the sun sinking behind the skyline. The movies start at sunset, so guests are encouraged to arrive early. Find a good spot and enjoy a drink or a bite to eat from Pllek’s kitchen before the movie begins.
Free, fun, and full of summer energy
And the best part? It’s completely free! All you need is a blanket, a few friends, and maybe a sweater for cooler evenings. The event is weather-dependent, so be sure to check social media or Pllek’s website for updates. Although the screenings are free, donations are welcome and help keep the project running year after year. Films with a View isn’t just any movie night! It’s a community gathering, a midweek getaway, and a taste of summer that feels like a mini-vacation without leaving the city.
