More info & tickets

Together with Fanclub Centrum, we invite a special Amsterdammer every two months to curate a film evening. This time, especially for Pride, it's a double feature! With actor/maker Marije van der Made, we will watch the romantic drama Fucking Åmål by Lukas Moodysson from 1998.

In the boring Swedish provincial town of Åmål, there's not much to do. The gloomy teenager Agnes has only lived there for a short time and doesn't fit in. She is secretly in love with Elin, the most popular girl in school, but has nowhere to turn with her feelings. Agnes' world collapses when Elin humiliates her at her 16th birthday party. But Elin, who becomes fascinated by Agnes' courage, later regrets it. Slowly, the two grow closer and closer. Fucking Åmål was the debut of Lukas Moodysson (Together) and won several European film awards.

Please note: This screening is the first part of a double bill. The second film, 'Pink Flamingos' at 21:30, requires a separate ticket.

At the Melkweg, different types of programs often take place simultaneously, such as concerts, club nights, and films. Please be aware that there may occasionally be noise from other programs during the screening.
