Secondary education
At the Noordelijk Film Festival, children are introduced to the world of film. They put themselves in the shoes of various characters and learn to watch films more mindfully and critically. There is a suitable film for every age group.
A classroom visit is more than just an impressive morning: we organise a follow-up discussion in the auditorium or provide teaching materials. The school performances take place on 5 and 6 November at De Harmonie and Slieker. If there is a high level of interest, we plan to schedule additional screenings after the festival has ended. You can register until 5 October.

Aike, a lonely 17-year-old chemistry enthusiast, tries to build a nuclear reactor in his mother’s shed in a desperate bid to be noticed, with all the radioactive and catastrophic consequences that entails.

Age rating: 6+. Recommendation: from Year 3 onwards. Screenings by arrangement. Please indicate your preference on the registration form.
When fifteen-year-old Ahmet, the son of a shepherd from a village in North Macedonia, stumbles upon an illegal night-time rave by chance, a whole new world opens up to him. Using a tractor as a sound system, he then creates his own dance floor. Through music and dance, Ahmet seeks a way out of his extremely conservative environment and experiences his first love with a girl who is already promised to someone else. But his father is more concerned about the sheep that Ahmet lost during his adventure.
