About Amsterdam Series Weekend

 

The first edition of Amsterdam Series Weekend, from May 24th till May 26th at the Culture Park Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam, will be completely dominated by television. 

The idea: in addition to the various festivals in the Netherlands, it’s time for a festival exclusively on television. Amsterdam Film Week founder Fulko Kuindersma: ‘Television series are gaining popularity in the Netherlands. But until now there was no place in the Netherlands where we could watch these series on a big screen, together with our friends. We are now creating that place with the Amsterdam Series Weekend’.

During Amsterdam Series Weekend, we focus on the screening of award-winning and quality productions. The screenings take place in Het Ketelhuis, the MC-theater and in a specially created Living Room in the Openbare Verlichting at the Westergasfabriek. We’ll exhibit the first episodes of new seasons and completely new series 'season finals'. Red carpets are rolled out on Friday and Saturday for the premieres of special TV series that have never been screened in the Netherlands. There will be outdoor screenings and two rooms are exclusively reserved for marathon screenings of series.

Besides the Amsterdam Series Weekend our founding partner UPC organizes the ‘UPC Series month’. During the whole month of May, UPC subscribers can enjoy the best award-winning series at home via On Demand, at the UPC shops and in the specially equipped Living Room at the Amsterdam Series Weekend.

The online ticketing for Amsterdam Series Weekend will start on the 1st of May when the complete program will be revealed on this website.
