This summer, you can watch classics outdoors at sunset such as Paris Is Burning (Jennie Livingston, 1990), Cléo de 5 à 7 (Agnès Varda, 1962), Desperately Seeking Susan (Susan Seidelman, 1985) and more. The programmes will be presented by Noa Johannes (VPRO Cinema).

Fancy enjoying a relaxed drink on a sultry summer evening while watching an exceptional film? Well you can, because this year once again we are screening films in the open air in the park next to the Eye building. This summer in our Sunsets screenings you can watch films by female directors such as Agnès Varda, Amy Heckerling and Jennie Livingston.

We will be screening the films on a gigantic screen measuring 12 by 6 metres. Ahead of each screening, you can take part from your recliner using your telephone in a free interactive quiz with great prizes. Catering is available on the site.

Practical information

Please note, you must book a ticket in advance: €5.00 standard, free for Cineville pass holders. The number of Cineville seats available is limited, so if you want to be sure of a seat book on time or buy a €5.00 ticket.

You will be given a recliner and a set of headphones; it is not possible to bring your own chair. In the event of bad weather, a decision will be taken on the day of whether the screening will go ahead. We will then send a mailing out to all those people who have booked tickets.
