Award Ceremony – ROOTS Film Festival 2026

Join us on Saturday, 12 December at 9:30 PM in Zaal 1 as we bring the ninth edition of ROOTS Film Festival to a celebratory close! It's time to recognize the talent, creativity and hard work of this year's filmmakers and find out who will be taking home an award.

This year, five awards are up for grabs: the Audience Award, three Jury Awards and the QISSA Award. The Audience Award and each of the three Jury Awards come with a €1,000 cash prize, while the QISSA Award offers a tailored coaching trajectory to support the winning filmmaker in their creative journey.

We're also introducing an exciting new collaboration with PICL! All winning filmmakers will receive a spot in the ROOTS programme on the streaming platform, where their films will be available to watch for an entire year. A great opportunity to reach new audiences and give these stories a life beyond the festival.

After the ceremony, the celebrations continue with closing drinks and music in our café. Everyone is welcome to drop by, raise a glass and celebrate another wonderful edition of ROOTS with us.

No ticket needed. Just walk in and join the celebration!
