Description

Experience the highlights of IDFA in one evening with Best of IDFA Light! You’ll watch two of this year’s standout films—one audience favorite and one film granted an IDFA Award by a professional jury. A unique way to experience the festival in a compact format.

The program takes place on Friday 21 and Saturday 22 November at Pathé Noord—with comfortable seating and just a 10-minute metro ride on the North-South line from Amsterdam Central Station. Find more information on accessibility here.

Before the program, enjoy dinner or drinks at the dedicated IDFA food court, grab a bite at nearby Market27, or sit down for a meal at Restaurant De Beren next to the foyer.

The films selected for Best of IDFA Light will be announced at the Award Ceremony on Thursday evening, 20 November. The final program can be found on the website and will be sent by email.

All films are either spoken or subtitled in English.

Standard rate: €25, Student rate: €15.
