Opening Night – ROOTS Film Festival 2026

We are delighted to invite you to the festive Opening Night of the ROOTS Film Festival 2026 on Friday, 11 December at 8:30 PM!

We'll kick off the ninth edition of ROOTS with an evening of film, conversation and celebration. After a warm welcome and a few opening words, we'll screen three films that offer a first taste of this year's festival programme: GekkigGeit by Daan Bunnik, Casa Amarela by Marina Anjos Hardy and Dad Said by Livia May. Together, these films offer a first glimpse of the diverse stories and perspectives that make up this year's festival programme. After the screenings, the filmmakers will join us for a Q&A, offering an opportunity to hear more about the stories behind their work.

On 11 and 12 December, the ninth edition of the ROOTS Film Festival brings together emerging and established filmmakers from across the province of South Holland. The Opening Night is your chance to get a taste of what's to come before the festival unfolds in full.

We'll wrap up the evening with an Opening Night drinks reception, accompanied by a live DJ set by FABEL. Everyone is welcome to join us, so don't wait too long to get your tickets – availability is limited!
