Who are we?

Since 1996, we have been a constant artistic, empowering, and much-needed presence in the Dutch LGBTQ+ scene. The 12-day Roze Filmdagen takes place annually at Het Ketelhuis in Amsterdam. Thanks to its top-notch programming, the festival has earned a strong reputation among audiences, filmmakers, and festivals around the world. Through feature films, documentaries, short films, and online talk shows, the film festival aims to shed light on as many aspects of the LGBTQ+ spectrum as possible for a broad audience. Roze Filmdagen has a small professional staff and relies on numerous enthusiastic volunteers, working in close collaboration with the board.
