More than a festival
Movies that Matter uses the power of films to start a conversation about human rights and is therefore much more than a film festival. We do this all year round, also outside the festival in The Hague, in the Netherlands and beyond, thanks to the great support of funds and donors.
Education
Want to see a film with your students that really means something? In class or cinema?
Movies that Matter offers (free) accessible films about social themes for secondary education (particularly in the vmbo and vocational education) and mbo. These film cover, for example, human rights, discrimination and sustainability. Includes teaching materials. With this program we reach 175,000 students every year.

On Tour
Did you know that you can also visit Movies that Matter in your hometown? With our films we travel to 17 cities throughout the Netherlands. Afterwards there is room for deepening and you can discuss the film under the guidance of a moderator.

International
Do you work in a developing country or a country where press freedom is at stake? If so, it might be interesting to take a look at our international program. In addition to training and advice, Movies that Matter provides financial support for film screenings abroad, including mobile cinema projects, film festivals and embassies.
