English Filmhuis Denhaag - Staging

English

At Filmhuis Den Haag, it's all about the love for Film

Film offers countless stories and visions and challenges you to empathise with others. Filmhuis Den Haag aims to be a vibrant meeting place that is all about inspiration, education & talent and social connection. From international cinema to new work by makers from The Hague, from classics to premieres and from education labs to panel discussions: we offer the diverse city a stage to experience, make and show. Not only in the Filmhuis itself, but also in the rest of the city, Filmhuis Den Haag organises screenings and encounters with film as a starting point, for and with the residents of The Hague and the region, in cooperation with local and national partners.

Using the universal language of film, Filmhuis Den Haag entices visitors to delve into other perspectives. As far as we are concerned, film is the ultimate empathy machine: a tool against navel-gazing and a stimulus to enrich your own identity with new experiences. Global quality cinema is the basis from which we develop our social and educational programming. Because Filmhuis Den Haag is more than just a place where films are shown, and showing films does not stop at the walls of our building.

To realise our mission, we distinguish three core tasks: providing artistic inspiration, stimulating education & talent development and facilitating social encounters.

English spoken and English subs

At Filmhuis Den Haag, we strive to make Film accessible to everyone. In an international city like The Hague, we aim to make our programme accessible to a wider audience and thereby promote cultural exchange and understanding, by having multiple screenings with EN subs each week. Check out our agenda below to see which screenings contain EN subs.
