festival-fair · 2026-06-27

Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam has announced a summer programme titled 'Queer Power' for 2026, coinciding with World Pride being hosted in the city. The programme will feature queer films from around the world, celebrating LGBTQ+ diversity and the hard-won recognition of rights since the first same-sex marriage was legalized in the Netherlands in 2001. The event comes at a time when LGBTQ+ rights are under increasing global pressure, with homosexuality still punishable by law in over seventy countries. World Pride 2026 is expected to bring millions of visitors to Amsterdam for a historic celebration of freedom, diversity, and inclusivity. Eye Filmmuseum is one of several institutions in Amsterdam participating in the citywide festivities.
