The filmmakers of the ABFF
Amsterdam neighborhood filmmakers will have a unique stage at the ABFF to show their films. Films about everything that concerns Amsterdam residents in the city: about the people and their activities in their own neighborhood. The makers of the films are both enthusiasts and professionals, young and old, newcomers and Amsterdam residents.

Movie cocktails
The film screenings are divided into eight ‘film cocktails’ with a compilation of four to six films. The submitted films give a good impression of everything that concerns Amsterdam residents in the city. After the screening of each film cocktail there is a Q&A where the audience can ask questions to the filmmakers (1.5 hours per film cocktail).
