FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT (FILM) EDUCATION.
Every year, thousands of students, from primary school to university, step inside Filmhuis Den Haag to take part in our educational programmes. In our cinema rooms and dedicated learning spaces, Studio B and C, they explore the world of film beyond the screen. Until now, these programmes have been exclusively for students. But that’s about to change.
Starting October '26, Filmhuis Den Haag launches Studio F, a new monthly programme opening up the world of film education to everyone. Each month, our education team invites special guests to join them in exploring a (modern) classic through a different theme or perspective. From filmmaking techniques and the creative process to the stories, ideas and questions that films bring to life, Studio F goes beyond the screening to discover what cinema can teach us about ourselves and the world around us.
Whether you’re a curious film lover or simply looking to get more out of your next cinema visit, Studio F invites you to look closer, think deeper and see films in a new light. Through in-depth introductions, conversations and interactive workshops, we explore how films can move us, challenge our assumptions and open up new perspectives. Because cinema is more than entertainment: it’s a way of understanding the world and each other.
This is Studio F.

Puppetry with 'The Muppet Christmas Carol' (1992)
