At IFFH, the Global Peace / Harmony / Human Rights category welcomes films that explore themes of peace, justice, unity, and human dignity, stories that engage with conflict, resilience, and the experiences that connect people across cultures and borders.

If your film speaks to these ideas, we would love to see it!

The upcoming deadline is 22 May. Submit your film and join us this November in The Hague!

Moral Hazard by Luuk Audenaerde

We’re spotlighting one of the latest submissions we’ve received a project shaped by a distinct visual voice and a focus on complex characters.

Luuk Audenaerde is a self-taught writer and director from The Netherlands, whose work explores the inner worlds of his characters through expressive camerawork and editing. His storytelling often challenges the viewer to look beyond actions and question deeper motivations.

Our film festival is a universe in motion, shaped
by movies that stay with us from past editions,
and by those still finding their final form. With
each year, new images enter the frame, new
voices emerge, and new perspectives expand
what already exists.

This is how the International Film Festival The
Hague continues to grow.

If you’re working on a film, we invite you to
share it with us. Submissions are now open.
See you in November!

Stories of renewal đź’«

Easter is a moment to pause, reflect, and embrace new beginnings.
In cinema, these moments often unfold quietly through characters who change, rebuild, and rediscover themselves. Stories that remind us that transformation
is possible, even in the most unexpected ways.
At IFFH, we celebrate films that explore these journeys stories that stay with us and invite us to see the world differently.

Wishing you a reflective and inspiring Easter.

UPCOMING DEADLINE! 🎬

Some films speak through actions, images, and they are shaped by gestures, framing, and the choices that define what stays and what disappears. They’re built carefully, through revision, refinement, and attention to detail.

With this in mind, the upcoming submission deadline is April 16th.

Don’t miss your chance to present your work in The Hague this November at the International Film Festival The Hague!
