The Supernova Cinema is a cinema in Amsterdam, founded by the team behind the International Queer & Migrant Film Festival, and launched in October 2021. The cinema space is characterised by an alternative and inclusive programming, showcasing indie films, debates and workshops focused on intersectionality, new perspectives, queer topics, migration, diversity & identity. Supernova offers a platform for emerging filmmakers, orchestrating exchanges with international artists and festivals, as well as working on the basis of artivism – activism through art.

The team behind Supernova includes programmers, organisers and volunteers from the International Queer & Migrant Film festival – a diverse group of people who are directly involved in topics such as representation, decolonisation and commemoration, all from a professional perspective. We are a diverse team supported by a group of enthusiastic volunteers and cinema-lovers. The board of the foundation consists of members with a background in cinema, academia and the arts. You can find us on the second floor of Overtoom 301 in Amsterdam. OT301 originated from the Amsterdam squatters’ movement, and was eventually bought in 2006 by a diverse, international community, an association under the name ‘EHBK.’ This alternative, non-profit platform is run as a collective, in which living, working spaces and public functions are combined to contribute to art, politics and subculture. The Supernova Cinema has been part of the EHBK collective since July 2021.
