2024 MOVIES THAT MATTER FESTIVAL  (22  -30 March)

The Movies that Matter Festival 2024 will take place from 22 to 30 March at Filmhuis Den Haag and Theater aan het Spui.  They  will also be at various guest locations in the city and satellite locations throughout the Netherlands.

Films are at the heart of all Movies that Matter activities. But what makes a movie a movie that matters? All the films that are made are important in one way or another. They do not determine which films are important or not. They  do determine which films we consider important or not. In the first instance,  They  select films on the basis of artistic quality. The film must utilise the possibilities of the medium in a stimulating or refreshing way.  They  also value the maker’s vision. With an idiosyncratic vision, they can give us an innovative picture of reality.  They  do not limit  themselves to a form or genre. The common denominator of these films is that they deal with situations in which human dignity is at stake. In the selection  they  consider the urgency of the theme and the way in which the film can contribute to the knowledge and opinion of our audience.

STET WE WERE PROMISED HONEY  (22 -24 March)

This weekend, you can see the STET   production of   “We  were promised Honey”.  A hopeful, hopeless prophecy for earth and humankind. A story of us, our future, of paradise and how we get there in the end. A lone performer tells the story of the future of the audience; what’s going to happen to them in the decades, centuries, millenia after the end of this show.

It’s the story of a baby born in a lighthouse, of someone on fire in the middle of the desert, of two lovers reunited in a flooded city, of a spaceship on the edge of a blackhole. Everything has already been decided. This is the story of the end.
