Filmhuis Den Haag, Art house cinema in The Hague, Netherlands
Filmhuis Den Haag is an art house cinema in the center of The Hague, with several screening rooms dedicated to independent films, international productions, and classic titles. The building also houses a café that is open beyond screening hours.
The cinema was founded as an alternative to commercial film distribution and gradually became a fixed point in the cultural life of The Hague. Over the years it built a program around directors and movements that mainstream venues rarely cover.
Many films here are shown in their original language with subtitles, which draws a crowd that enjoys cinema from many different countries. After a screening, the café tends to fill up with people continuing the conversation that the film started.
The cinema is centrally located in The Hague and easy to reach on foot or by public transport. The café stays open after screenings end, so there is no rush to leave once a film is over.
Every December, the cinema puts together a program that directly counters the holiday blockbusters showing elsewhere in the city. Visitors who come at that time of year often find films on screen that are nearly impossible to see anywhere else in the Netherlands.
