🎬 Indy Film Library Festival

🎬 Indy Film Library Festival

Indy Film Library (IFL) is hosting two days of film screenings, celebrating the very best work from artists around the world. Forming the first part of the organisation’s yearly awards shortlist, a selection of international shorts will kick off the event at Amsterdam’s Filmhuis Cavia, on Saturday May 2nd 2026.

Two programmes of shorts from Benelux-based filmmakers will follow, as the seventh annual event looks to introduce audiences to films which they will not find anywhere else, by filmmakers who represent the future of the film industry in the Netherlands and beyond.

Among the movies featured, cinema lovers will have a chance to witness breath-taking experimental, documentary and narrative shorts. These include May Bresser’s heartfelt coming of age drama Wat we achterlachten; Sando Heijnen’s unnerving experimental thriller Eindewerk; and Lisa Hukker‘s rip-roaring musical documentary Glock ’45: The Movie.

All films come with English subtitles for international viewers.

IFL Chief Editor Jack Benjamin said of the selection, “This announcement seems to get harder every year – we have been overwhelmed by the quality of work we received this season. But whittling down a programme to the very best of the best is exactly the kind of headache we want at Indy Film Library. I am truly excited to introduce these artists to our audiences this May.”
