ABOUT ROOTS FILM FESTIVAL
What is ROOTS?
On December 12 & 13, we will host the eighth edition of the ROOTS Film Festival: a gift from Filmhuis to The Hague and its residents. Everyone is welcome at this film event where filmmakers from The Hague take center stage, meet each other, and engage with the audience. It’s a unique opportunity for the audience to discover the talent of local filmmakers and experience the creativity thriving in their city.
The ROOTS Film Festival was initiated by Filmhuis Den Haag to provide a platform (and big screen) for filmmakers from The Hague. It also aims to foster connections among local filmmakers and contribute to a vibrant and positive film culture in the city.
The ROOTS Film Festival is supported by the Municipality of The Hague.

We open the festival with a sparkling Festive Opening Night that sets the mood for the whole weekend.

It’s the perfect opportunity to connect with fellow film lovers and meet the creative minds behind the scenes. We end the night on a high note with a lively celebration, making it a night to remember.

On Saturday 13 December, the festival opens up completely. Through films, talks, and encounters, the day offers a broad and lively view of what’s happening in filmmaking in The Hague and neighbouring cities (we are looking at you, Rotterdam). Whether you're into short films, music videos, or experimental work, or just curious to meet other makers, ROOTS is a chance to tap into the richness and creativity of the local scene.
