What makes Pluk special?
🎬 Stories that stay with you
At Pluk, you’ll discover films that haven’t yet been released in Dutch cinemas, if they ever make it there at all. From award-winning festival favourites to bold debuts and hidden gems, every screening is an invitation to experience something unexpected.
🌙 More than just film
The festival grounds open well before the screening begins. Come early for food, drinks, art, music or simply to soak up the atmosphere. As the sun sets, everyone gathers in front of the big screen for the night’s film.
❤️ Everyone’s welcome
Come with friends, bring a date, bring the family or come on your own. Pluk is all about sharing stories, meeting people and enjoying a relaxed summer evening together.
