The sex cinema returns to the Amsterdam Red Light District. A 5D porn cinema opens on the Oudekerksplein (Old Church Square) on 30 March 2019, where ‘sex cinema’ Venus used to be. Tomorrow it will officially open its doors for the public. It’s located next to the Oude Kerk – an active protestant church, an online radio station, the Prostitution Information Centre, residential houses, a bunch of window brothels and several bars.
It means a comeback of a dying phenomenon. Venus, which opened its doors as the first sex cinema in Amsterdam in the 1970s, closed ten years ago. The rise of the internet, where sex and porn are available without restrictions and anonymity, made sex cinemas superfluous. Moreover, they no longer matched the clean-up plans, also known as Project 1012, that the municipality of Amsterdam had in mind to turn the Red Light District into an area that has more to offer than sex.

This sex show in Amsterdam is a new initiative of several Red Light District entrepreneurs, including the owner Nathalie Venekamp.
Kim Holland, a Dutch porn-actress and producer, has made the short film that will be shown six times per hour. “It has taken a lot of effort,” she says. “A 5D movie is new to us.” She expects the new 5D porn cinema to be able to compete with the internet. “It’s new, exciting, interactive, and the first porn movie in the world in 5D!”
In addition to the three-dimensional images, five-dimensional films also offer moving chairs and special effects such as smoke, water/bubbles. What this looks like during a porn-movie is left to your imagination, but according to Kim Holland all senses are stimulated.
The new 5D porn cinema in Amsterdam opens at a time when the municipality is trying to reduce the entertainment content in the Red Light District. The municipality of Amsterdam had to grant a permit to these entrepreneurs, says Alderman Udo Kock, because a sex cinema fits within the destination of the building. However, according to Kim Holland, the new cinema is a special case. “People can go here on their own.”
During our Red Light District tours we pass by this exciting venue as well, which is located in the heart of Amsterdam’s old centre.
