De stad was van ons (2019) - Film + Q&A

Screening De stad van ons (2019) - directed by Netty van Hoorn


"De Stad Was van Ons" by Netty van Hoorn is a Dutch documentary that chronicles the feminist movement in Amsterdam during the 1970s. The film captures the rise of women's activism, focusing on their fight for gender equality and social change. Through archival footage and personal stories, it highlights the sense of community, passion, and determination of these women as they challenged the status quo. Their efforts led to significant changes in Dutch society, shaping the feminist landscape of the time. The film offers a historical perspective on this pivotal moment.

After the screening of De Stad Was van Ons, there will be a Q&A session with director Netty van Hoorn and key representatives from the queer community. These individuals played an important role in creating queer spaces and influencing the queer nightlife scene in Amsterdam.


Important note: the film is entirely in Dutch and does not include subtitles. The Q&A will also be conducted in Dutch.

Yes, the Pro Pass grants you access to all ADE official festival events. Even if a festival event is sold out, you can still access the event with your ADE Pro Pass wristband. During ADE there are over 500 festival events and hundreds more cultural and conference events you can enter with the wristband. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a limited capacity that each venue can take into account for ADE Pro wristband holders. This means that, for some of the more crowded events, you have to arrive early to ensure attendance. Once capacity is reached, ADE Pro holders will be let into the event on a one in-one-out basis.
