DE TRUT, 10 PORTRETTEN

A closer look at the community members behind this Amsterdam LGBTQ+ institution

Following this screening, Dickey Heerkens will moderate an after-talk with (former) 'Trutters'.

De Trut is a household name in Amsterdam; a queer party that has been organized here every Sunday evening for 40 years, 100% by volunteers. The profits are used to subsidize LGBTQ+ projects worldwide. On the occasion of the anniversary, filmmaker P!m Mookhoek was allowed to make recordings within the walls of De Trut for the first time, delving into the lives of ten people who work or have worked at De Trut, dance, or are supported by the fund.

This documentary reviews a varied collection of portraits and demonstrates what De Trut means and has meant to many people.

This special De Trut-community screening (obviously on a Sunday night) shall be complemented by more stories from the past years, before the die-hards can take their place in the notorious queue on Bilderdijkstraat.
