Festival information
The North Sea Film Festival (NSFF) is a 3 day festival which takes place in cinema Studio/K, Amsterdam, from 6th to 8th november 2009. The first two editions of the North Sea Film Festival took place at the Museon in The Hague. In 2007 the festival started as a platform for underwater filmmakers that didn't have a venue to show their films. Meanwhile, the NSFF has experienced that underwater films are also popular with film, nature and artlovers and is the festival developing into a weekend packed with water related films, debates and art for a wider audience.
The North Sea Film Festival isn't just about screening underwaterfilms and documentaries, but there is also plenty of room for Q&A's, debates and expositions:
