We organize monthly Film Clubs, informative networking events for filmmakers.
On behalf of the filmmakers of Groningen, we are the discussion partner of the Municipality of Groningen and the Province of Groningen.
We are partners with local, regional and national organizations that want to promote the flourishing of film culture in the broadest sense of the word.
