Secondary education
During the Noordelijk Film Festival, young people discover new worlds and learn to see things differently. There is a suitable film for every age group, with a discussion or teaching materials to deepen the experience.
School screenings will take place on November 6 and 7 at De Harmonie and Slieker. If there is sufficient interest, we will schedule additional screenings after the festival. Register before October 5! Do you have any special requests or questions? Please contact educatie@filminfriesland.nl.
The cost for all programs is €6.50 per student, with a minimum total of €250. The program for Practical Education and ISK is an exception to this rule: please inquire about the possibilities.
