Shorts: ROOTS x MtM

The ROOTS Film Festival by Filmhuis Den Haag provides a platform for filmmakers based in The Hague. In the lead-up to Movies that Matter Film Festival 2025, we selected three films from the ROOTS programme that resonate with our festival’s mission – films that inspire dialogue on pressing global issues.

This special shorts block will be screened only once on Monday 24 March, including a Q&A.

Films in this shorts programme:

• The Elephant & the Room
• In the Trace of Tilled Stones
• How Shall We Greet the Sun

The Roots programme will be followed by Frames without Borders – 84 hour film project. You are welcome to stay for these four short films.
