WorldPride month x Cinemien: De Trut, 10 portretten + nagesprek
Line up: Regie: Pim Mookhoek

Tien portretten van mensen die de Amsterdamse queerclub, de Trut, maken tot wat zij is:
een veilige haven, activistische motor en culturele ontmoetingsplek.

Ter ere van het 40-jarig jubileum van De Trut en World Pride Amsterdam (25 juli- 8 augustus 2026) volgt deze documentaire tien mensen die op uiteenlopende manieren verbonden zijn aan de iconische Amsterdamse queerclub. Vrijwilligers, bezoekers en ontvangers van steun uit het Trutfonds vertellen hoe De Trut hun leven heeft beïnvloed. De film laat zien hoe een non-commercieel feest uitgroeide tot een veilige plek en activistische kracht binnen de queer gemeenschap, van de jaren tachtig tot nu.

July 2026: WorldPride Month at Plein Theater

Plein Theater celebrates queerness with a bold and motley programme full of theatre, film, drag, and performance that challenges, questions, and defies the norm!

Throughout the year, but especially during the month of July, Plein Theater gives unfiltered visibility to film and emerging artists engaging with queer themes. This year in the spirit of the extraordinary WorldPride Amsterdam, which theme UNITY stands for solidarity, connection, and a shared struggle for equality.

An important part of the programme originates from an open call as part of our co-creation programme, where shared ownership and participation are key. Ten emerging and talented artists present work that engages with queer perspectives, identity, the body, freedom, and the many ways in which we can celebrate ourselves and each other.

We believe that a theater is not only a stage, but also a meeting center where artists, local residents, communities, and audiences collectively shape what is presented. Our co-creation programme can be recognised by the #GetInvolved label.

From 15th to 19th of July we screen ten queer films by the feminist film collective Cinemien! For decades, Cinemien has been a pioneer in showcasing powerful women’s stories, LGBTQIA+ perspectives, and groundbreaking documentaries.

We also Bring Drag Back to the Theatre with a special WorldPride edition featuring the irresistible drag queen Sederginne. And last but not least, together with queer.red and Lesbique, we explore the boundaries of queer erotique during Darkroom on Stage!
