The Eastern Neighbours Film Festival (ENFF) returns! From 5 November to 9 November 2025, Filmhuis Den Haag will once again be transformed into a cultural meeting place. A selection of the latest and most acclaimed films from (South) Eastern Europe will be screened, many of which will have their Dutch premiere during the festival.

Boundless Stories, Profound Dialogues

This year, ENFF welcomes visitors with a programme that goes beyond film - and takes an in-depth look at the soul of an often undiscovered region. Explore a world of stories: from award-winning feature films to groundbreaking documentaries and inspiring shorts. With a rich variety of films, all subtitled in English, ENFF offers something for every visitor. In addition, the programme offers exclusive master classes, in-depth debates and personal meetings with filmmakers, actors and producers.

A cultural bridge that connects and deepens

Since 2008, ENFF has been known for bringing fresh, unconventional stories from Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe to the Netherlands. With a selection of rarely seen films, brand new perspectives and honest, raw stories, the festival aims to bridge cultures. ENFF introduces you to the realities, dreams and cultural richness of this region - and brings an often forgotten diaspora to the fore in the Netherlands. This is your chance to experience unique stories, new cultural insights and discover another side of Europe - a world where cinema and culture bring us closer together. Join, meet, and be inspired!
