SUNSETS in OVERHOEKS
The Film Museum presents open-air screenings in Overhoeks, the future location of the Film Museum in Amsterdam-North. For three days, atmospheric glamour films will be shown on the newly reclaimed land near the ferry across the IJ, where you will be welcomed in a fitting ambiance. The prosecco bubbles, the paparazzi cameras flash, and a red carpet reaches right up to the stands.
August 1 to 3 - after sunset
The program includes the recent James Bond production Casino Royale (2006), the extravagant Australian road film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994), and Billy Wilder's famous comedy Some Like It Hot (1959), in which Marilyn Monroe sings 'I Want to Be Loved by You' in a heartwarming manner.
