Pride in the city, Priscilla on the screen

It is Worldpride in Amsterdam: from July 25 to August 8, 2026, the city will be dedicated to visibility, diversity, and the freedom to be oneself.

At Rialto, we celebrate with a fitting film. As part of our summer program Hot Town, Summer in the City, we will be screening the iconic cult classic The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert this summer. 

The film follows drag queens Mitzi, Bernadette, and Felicia on a colorful road trip through the Australian desert. In their bright pink bus Priscilla, they travel to Alice Springs for a performance. With extravagant costumes, sharp humor, and a heartwarming story, the film has become a beloved classic and a milestone in queer cinema.

To get in the Pride spirit, we will welcome attendees of the screenings with a welcome drink. For those looking for an extra festive evening, make sure to mark Friday, August 7 in your calendar. We will be going all out with a special Pride edition featuring a party, a DJ, and cocktails afterwards. 

Screening Dates 

Friday, August 7, 21:15 (special Pride evening with welcome drink, party with DJ, and cocktails) 

Friday, August 21, 21:15 (with welcome drink) 

Update!

Friday evening, 7 August, will be hosted by drag king Mannish Pixel
