Netherlands Silent Film Festival

The Dutch Silent Film Festival (NSFF) in Eindhoven is the largest film festival in the Netherlands in the field of Silent Film. In this original form of film, a story is told without words but with emotion, facial expressions and music. That makes it so unique.

Both during the festival and throughout the year, the NSFF is committed to making the cinematic heritage of the silent film era accessible. We do this of course with film screenings for a wide audience, but also with educational projects, workshops and lectures. Because: the creativity and innovation of this very earliest form of film deserves to be seen!

For the programming, the NSFF team looks at current developments in the world of silent film. This includes recent rediscoveries, restorations and new research results. That is why the festival features both crowd favorites and hidden gems, all with live musical accompaniment from international film musicians.

The festival takes place annually in January at the Natlab in Eindhoven.
