Eye is no ordinary event venue. Eye helps you and your guests see differently. We encourage you to look at film, the world, and your event in a different light. On this page, you can read about the possibilities to incorporate film in your event.
The impressive architecture of the museum is an inspiring backdrop for your event. Light, space, and movement are the core elements of film and are reflected in the design of the building. These elements can be used as a theme for your event: provide context, show multiple perspectives, display, entertain, discover, innovate, and learn to take a different view.

Make your event extra special with a short tour of Eye. A guide will take you through the museum building, share insights about its unique architecture and Eye’s role, and introduce you to the What is Film? exhibition. In this permanent exhibition, you'll learn all about the history of film: from vintage cameras to interactive installations. The new animation gallery showcases works by artists such as Joop Geesink and Monique Renault. Additionally, a rotating selection of film posters from Eye's extensive collection is on display.
Duration: 45–60 minutes
Price: € 95 per guide (excluding VAT) – maximum 15 people per guide
For a guided tour after 19:00, a surcharge of € 20 per guide (excluding VAT) applies.
A film is essentially a series of still images shown quickly in sequence, creating the illusion of movement – just like a flipbook. On the ground floor of the permanent exhibition, you can create one yourself. Just record a short animation and select your favourite version. We'll send the flipbook to you for free. Between 15:00 and 19:00, you can print it at the Flipbook Corner and take it home immediately.
For your event, the flipbook can be printed with a personalised cover, for example featuring your company logo. An original and tangible keepsake of your visit!
Duration: 10 minutes
Price: regular € 8.50 (including VAT) / personalised € 16 (including VAT)
