Filmtheater de Uitkijk is an independent one-screen movie theater located at the Prinsengracht in the Canal District of Amsterdam. It is one of the oldest cinemas in Amsterdam and in the Netherlands.
History The building, which dates back to 1689, was first converted into a movie theater in 1912. It was then called the City Bioscope. In 1929, the Nederlandsche Filmliga took over the theater and founded the first avant-garde cinema in the Netherlands: De Uitkijk.
Since 2007, De Uitkijk has been run entirely by students. It focuses mainly on repertory cinema screenings.
