The Netherlands Film Festival is the barometer and booster of the national film culture. It celebrates the achievements, questions the facts, and connects that culture with the public and society.

The Netherlands Film Festival (NFF) is the instrument to involve a large and varied audience in Dutch film culture. For the professional world, the NFF is the only comprehensive platform for substantive and traditional exchange and innovation. As a driver of innovation, the NFF promotes cross-pollination between disciplines. It also always seeks connections between the art of the moving image and social urgency. From a national perspective, the NFF offers a view of Dutch film culture in the international field of influence. It consciously operates in the field of tension between artistic and commercial, between the popular and the elitist, the familiar and the adventurous, the past and the present, the local and the global.
