Take on Film & Impact
Take on Film and Impact is Movies that Matter’s industry programme, designed for filmmakers and NGOs. It supports filmmakers in refining their impact strategies and create connections and collaborations with organizations, funders, and broadcasters in the Netherlands.
The programme consists of online training and an in-person segment for selected film projects. Between 22 and 24 March 2026, we welcome an audience of NGOs, funders, impact producers and filmmakers to The Hague for trainings, impact talks, case studies, pitches, and speed networking sessions.
Selected Projects
Eight projects spanning four continents have been selected for the annual Take on Film and Impact programme by Movies that Matter. Together, they tackle a wide range of urgent issues, from women’s rights, conflict-related sexual violence, adoptees’ rights, Indigenous rights, and the use of arbitrary detention as a tool of repression.
