Sprouts Film Festival is a platform for fictional ecocinema and socially critical debut films. It has steadily grown into an interdisciplinary film festival, in six venues across Amsterdam: Studio/K, Kriterion, De Uitkijk, Droog, MidWest, and QRU.

While a five-year anniversary calls for celebration, each day we are reminded of the need for a festival like Sprouts. Autocrats, tech bros, and far-right factions continue to wreak havoc on our planet, disrupting ecosystems and undermining international law and human dignity. This is why Sprouts cherishes its makers for the 2026 edition so deeply: they defy systems to share bold, uncompromising visions.

From 1 - 7 June, enjoy the wide film selection, free Eco Expo or the live AV-show. For more information on the festival and the full programme, visit https://sproutsfilmfestival.com/ and follow us on Instagram @sproutsfilmfestival.
