Instead, Sprouts wants to make the cinema a site for peaceful protest by showing newly released ecocinema and socially critical debut films. All selected features and shorts are fiction, because it is our belief that through the power of imagination we can alter our behaviour for the better and rethink our relationship with the more-than-human world. We are here to make you wonder, to inform, to spark resistance and to nurture fresh talent.

It is therefore no surprise that Dutch society has seen a proliferation of protests. Sprouts wants to make the cinema a site of protest by addressing these crises at hand through fiction film, because the power of the imagination can help us battle polarization and foresee effective ways of living together harmoniously with one another and the more-than-human world.As a festival we strive towards a greener and more diverse alternative to the regular films on offer in Amsterdam. Cinema can make tangible how our current global extinction crisis is never isolated. Battling racism and xenofobia, fighting for LGBTIQ+ and women’s rights, decolonizing Europe, adressing mental health, these issues and more all intersect and find a voice at Sprouts. &nbsp;French philosopher Gaston Bachelard wrote of our imagination as being botanical. Like a rooted tree that can connect the sky and the earth, the real and the dreamed. At Sprouts we could not agree more. Fiction makes up our festival DNA. That many of our selected eco films are also first works attests to the importance felt by a new generation of filmmakers to better take care of what we have. Sprouts wishes to nurture these brave trailblazers. We hope that you too will give them your full support.Throughout the year Sprouts is dedicated to offer more. This website functions as a running archive voor fictional ecocinema in order to broaden the category, because there is more than The Day After Tomorrow (2004). Now we need it more than ever. https://sproutsfilmfestival.com/archive Tue, 05 Dec 2023 21:17:53 +0000 Sprouts Film Festival https://sproutsfilmfestival.com/archive Archive ︎︎︎ https://sproutsfilmfestival.com/contact Wed, 06 Dec 2023 12:11:50 +0000 Sprouts Film Festival https://sproutsfilmfestival.com/contact Contact &amp; info ︎ veerle@sproutsfilmfestival.com ︎ Instagram&nbsp;&nbsp; ︎ Newsletter Festival locationsStudio/KTimorplein 62Amsterdam Oost Filmtheater Kriterion Roetersstraat 170 Amsterdam OostDe Uitkijk Prinsengracht 452Amsterdam Centrum DroogStaalstraat 7BAmsterdam CentrumMidWestCabralstraat 1Amsterdam West QRU Spaklerweg 1, Amsterdam Oost _______________ Team Artistic Director &amp; Film Programmer Thomas StreekstraManaging Director &amp; Societal Programmer Veerle van LieshoutCultural Programmer Sarah SalehGraphic Designer &amp; Marketeer Ella Gijselhart Partners &amp; Industry&nbsp;Emma BroholmPrint Traffic Fenna van Halsema Guest Programmer Sarah Teixeira St-Cyr Contact For general inquiries e-mail Veerle:&nbsp;veerle@sproutsfilmfestival.com For film related questions e-mail Thomas: thomas@sproutsfilmfestival.comFor questions regarding marketing contact Ella: marketing@sproutsfilmfestival.comFor questions regarding partnerships contact Emma: publicity@sproutsfilmfestival.com For questions around the Eco EXPO and AV-show contact Sarah:&nbsp;programming@sproutsfilmfestival.com Board President Elin BoijensSecretary&nbsp;Dominique Geerts Treasurer&nbsp;Jeroen Groot General member Jeroen de Goeij KvK 92198600 - Stichting Sprouts Film Festival Sponsored by Stichting Onderlinge Studentensteun https://sproutsfilmfestival.com/sponsoren-partner-logo-s Mon, 01 Apr 2024 08:50:31 +0000 Sprouts Film Festival https://sproutsfilmfestival.com/sponsoren-partner-logo-s <img width="1733" height="1042" width_o="1733" height_o="1042" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7e70e2be443581dd1ab63af30e7fdd255ad61ce34eb31a870d0b4192e5ab9bab/overzicht_logos_site_9juni_HR.png" data-mid="249269076" border="0" data-scale="65" data-no-zoom src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7e70e2be443581dd1ab63af30e7fdd255ad61ce34eb31a870d0b4192e5ab9bab/overzicht_logos_site_9juni_HR.png" />&nbsp;
