Shortcutz Amsterdam

Shortcutz Amsterdam is the only initiative in The Netherlands exclusively focusing on promoting new Dutch film talent and connecting up-and-coming filmmakers with established professionals. We promote new Dutch cinema through our network of over 50 partners, festivals around the world, and several special affiliated events. Through our weekly sessions, we showcase the work of new Dutch film talent and invite film professionals to share their stories and insight. Filmmakers get the chance to promote their work, talk to their audience, and interact with professionals. Film-lovers have the opportunity to watch films, learn about new talent, and get to know their favourite Dutch filmmakers. All films screened at Shortcutz Amsterdam are viewed by a jury team made up of some of the most respected names in the industry, and eligible to compete at the Shortcutz Amsterdam Annual Awards. And it’s all done while sipping a nice cold beer (or a glass of wine, whatever you prefer – we don’t judge).
