Events

NATO Film Week

What does war do to the people who didn't choose it - but end up in the middle of it? And how do you hold a shaky world order together before things really go wrong? During the Just Peace Festival 2025, in the run-up to the NATO summit in The Hague, Movies that Matter joins forces with PAARD, Flora Filmtheater and Theatre and Filmhuis Dakota with a specially curated film series under the title NATO Film Week, showing the complexity of war and keeping the peace. Four totally different films, with totally different perspectives, together paint one telling picture of these times.
