EYE is the only institute in the Netherlands that collects and displays film-related ephemera like photographs, posters, soundtracks, equipment and directors' archives. It's collection spans the entire length of film history from silent films to the newest digital productions. Every year the collection expands as more films, Dutch and foreign, new and old, are added. On April 5, 2012, EYE will officially open at its new location on the northern bank of the IJ and will be the first major arts institution to make the leap over the river. The main attraction will be its four modern film auditoriums. A room for exhibitions, educational activities and other events is also available.
