Why World Cinema Amsterdam 2020:

During World Cinema Amsterdam, you will have the chance to meet inspirational filmmakers from all over the world and watch their latest amazing works.

World Cinema Amsterdam 2020 Competition:

The competition programme is the festival's backbone. All nominated films compete for the World Cinema Jury Award which has a substantial amount of money attached. Nine strong films – competitors - are nominated every year within our Official Selection. A remarkable detail: World Cinema Amsterdam pays special attention to the work of young and talented filmmakers, therefore a large part of our competition titles are indeed debut films. The competition programme will be shown in Rialto and De Balie.

World Cinema Amsterdam 2020 Awards:

All the competition films are eligible to win the World Cinema Amsterdam Jury Award, and then there’s the World Cinema Amsterdam Audience Award, decided by votes cast by the audiences.

World Cinema Open Air:

It has always been a successful part of the festival: World Cinema Open Air. And no wonder, for it is of course very nice to see a film outdoors in a warm Summer evening. Especially if it is a brand new film!
