The Hague Climate Week | Snowpiercer
On Wednesday 12 November, Snowpiercer (2013), a dystopian science fiction film by Bong Joon-ho (Parasite), will be screened at Filmhuis Den Haag in the context of the The Hague Climate Week.
Snowpiercer
In a post-apocalyptic future, the Earth has frozen over after a failed climate experiment. The last survivors live on a train that endlessly circles the globe: the Snowpiercer. Inside the train, a strict class division has emerged — the rich live in luxury at the front, while the poor suffer in misery at the back. A rebellion breaks out when the lower class decides to fight their way forward, car by car, to overthrow the system.
Post-screening Discussion
Snowpiercer is a breathtaking action spectacle that dares to ask big questions about the impact of climate change on the Earth and our role in society. Is pop culture the right way to raise these important questions, or does a film like this miss its mark? We discuss this with Maarten Keulemans, science editor at De Volkskrant, and scientist Gabriela (Gaby) Alberola, whose work at the University of Amsterdam focuses, among other things, on the allocation of climate change budgets in the Global South. Moderator: Sophie Jansen (Filmhuis Den Haag).

The Hague Climate Week
Many Dutch people are already taking action for the climate. Governments, companies, and households are contributing, and we are living, working, and residing more sustainably. By collaborating at the local level, we can achieve even more. To inspire even more residents and organisations to take action for a better climate, the fifth edition of Climate Week will be held from 10 to 16 November 2025. During this week, local initiatives are highlighted and there are many activities to participate in.
Just Peace Movie Nights
Just Peace, in collaboration with Movies that Matter, Filmhuis Den Haag, and Humanity Hub, is organising a special series of Just Peace Movie Nights. These evenings use the power of film and storytelling to engage the public in urgent social issues and provide space for discussion and reflection.
