With the aim of expanding visitors' horizons in film and art, platform wysiwyg has found a home at Filmhuis Den Haag. Each month, they organize various film programs, each with a different focus. Whether you are interested in seeing works that rarely make it to the cinema screen, exploring the role of sound in film, or discussing unfinished film projects with strangers — every month there is something for you at one of wysiwyg's programs at Filmhuis Den Haag.
Glued & Screwed
Glued & Screwed presents carefully selected short films rarely—or never—seen in cinemas. Each month, the program weaves together local, international, and archival short films, and encourages dialogue between artists and audiences through post-screening conversations. Curated around artists and their work, each edition highlights their ideas, processes, and approaches to filmmaking. Glued & Screwed is for anyone curious about short film and artists’ moving image.

Can you hear the objects speak?
As the Netherlands grapples with restitution—looted artifacts, human remains, colonial debts—this program moves beyond provenance and property, raising more open-ended questions about value, ownership, and justice.
Born from transnational collaboration Beyond Provenance, interdisciplinary film program Can you hear the objects speak? by Asian Movie Night and wysiwy seeks to listen to the voices of ancestral beings from Indonesia held hostage in museums, mineral stones extracted for AI, and the ghostly wealth built into Amsterdam’s streets. The program consists of screenings, conversations, workshops and performances across The Hague, Arnhem, Rotterdam and Amsterdam from 30 September to 15 October, and will kick-off at Filmhuis Den Haag.

Rather than focusing solely on material significance—a logic that often mirrored colonial frameworks of preservation—the program foregrounds the emotional, cultural, spiritual, and communal values these objects hold for the communities from which they were taken, as a gateway to understand the animist and relational cosmopraxis shared by many Indigenous nations in the present day Indonesia. This program consist of five short films.
