Pink Film Days is not about \"one big night,\" but an entire period of time during which you get to see the city a little differently-via film. The 29th edition runs from Wednesday, March 18 to Sunday, March 29, 2026<\/strong> and traditionally plays in The Boiler House<\/strong>.<\/h2>\n

The festival is big (and you can tell by the selection): according to the education platform, it involves over 50 feature films and documentaries<\/strong> and 90 short films<\/strong>, supplemented by talk shows and other program elements.<\/p>\n

New and convenient: during the opening weekend<\/strong> expands the festival to Theater De Krakeling<\/strong> (across from The Boiler House). This is exactly the kind of expansion you feel as a regular visitor: more slots, more spread out, less \"sell-out bad luck.\"<\/p>\n

\"The Pink Days festival works because it doesn't just show, it brings together: creators, audiences and stories that you take outside.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Pink Film Days has been around since 1996<\/strong>. It started after there was no sequel to the International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival Holland; a group of film-house people felt there should be another specific festival for queer stories in film and documentary. You can still see those origins: it's not just entertainment, but a place where perspectives and conversations are given space.<\/p>\n

Between film blocks, the festival keeps the energy alive with fringe programming. On the official news pages, for example, you'll see regular recurring formats such as a Queer Pub Quiz<\/strong> and news surrounding awards (such as the Hivos Free to be Me Award<\/strong>).<\/p>\n
