With the Dutch Film Days we are celebrating the richness of movies from the Netherlands through a strong selection of classics and recently released films selected in close collaboration with platform SEE NL of Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam. Over the past few decades, Dutch filmmakers have developed a distinctive voice in global cinema, blending local stories with universal themes and gaining recognition on the international film festival circuit. From powerful documentaries to thought-provoking feature films, Dutch cinema offers a wide variety of genres and approaches, often reflecting the country’s history of pragmatic cooperation and progressive social values. Our Hungarian viewers will experience that contemporary Dutch cinema is marked by a blend of innovation, social relevance, and artistic exploration.

We are delighted to kick off the Dutch Film Days in Budapest with a sneak preview of Szeretlek@@Szeretlek in the presence of its director Jeroen Kooijmans. In addition, it is our pleasure to welcome Joram Lürsen, director of A Noble Intention and Johanna ter Steege, actress of The Marriage Escape, in our midst.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the Dutch Film Days!
