On Tour

Movies that Matter On Tour brings a selection of our impactful festival films to 16 theatres throughout the Netherlands. Every month, from October until May, an urgent film or documentary about human rights, freedom and justice – about struggle and hope.

Films that move, challenge, connect and inspire change. Always with context: our local volunteers provide an introduction or follow-up discussion with guest speakers at each screening. Because film can spark change. Because change starts the moment you watch – and keep watching.

October: Facing War

A political documentary with a unique inside look at NATO’s leadership during Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine.

November: Mister L.

An Asian tourist visits the touristic highlights that the Netherlands has to offer. After losing his passport – due to biased assumptions about his identity – he ends up in a refugee asylum situated on a former luxury cruise ship in Amsterdam. Awaiting a solution to his precarious situation, he manages to start special friendships with the residents of the asylum through non-verbal communication.

December: If I Die, It'll Be of Joy

In a world that often overlooks the power of the elderly, Micheline, Francis, and Yves lead a group of activists on a bold and tender journey to redefine the often-complicated relationship between aging and sexuality. Together, they prove that desire, defiance, and the need for intimacy are not strictly reserved for the youth.

January: Artificial Justice

In the near future in Spain, the Government aims to replace judges with an Artificial Intelligence software, pledging to effectively automate and depoliticise the justice system. Carmen Costa, a distinguished judge, has been invited to assess this new procedure.
