AmsFF X Uitkijk

Every year, a group of passionate student volunteers organize and produce the Amsterdam Student Film Festival (AmsFF) to provide visibility for aspiring artists and, in the process, foster a community of young people across Amsterdam who are passionate about film.

AmsFF began in 2022 when six Amsterdam University College students recognized an absence of platforms for student work and decided to create one from the ground up, with virtually no funding or formal structure. Now, three years later, the festival is independent from academic institutions and is composed of an even larger team of volunteers from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds, all excited to create the most ambitious edition of AmsFF yet.

The festival will take place May 29th to 31st across five independent Amsterdam venues: FC Hyena, De Uitkijk, Het Documentaire Paviljoen, LAB111 and Droog. As in previous years, a jury of diverse film industry professionals will work to screen the short films and provide feedback for the filmmakers. Audience members will also be able to interact with the filmmakers at select screenings.
