Indy Film Library is hosting two days of film screenings, celebrating the very best work from artists around the world!
Forming the first part of IFL's yearly awards shortlist, a selection of international shorts will kick off the film festival's programme at Amsterdam’s Filmhuis Cavia* and close it at Supermercator; with an international documentary film and three compilations of shorts: after Danny Mitchell and Ross Domoney’s Threads of a Revolution, a feature-length documentary about the democratic experiments of a Kurdish community in the Rojava region, the night will close out with a procession of bright new works from the Benelux; these shorts include Luuk Audenaerde’s murderous thriller Nevenschade, and Marlena Stam’s experimental LGBT+ mythology Narcissus.
IFL Chief Editor Jack Benjamin: "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.”
Following the screenings, the winning films of IFL’s 2026 submissions cycle will be announced. Each selection is rated 16+, and all films will show in Dutch or Flemish, with English subtitles.
