We have steadily grown into an interdisciplinary film festival\, now present across six venues in three of Amsterdam’s city districts: Studio/K\, Kriterion\, De Uitkijk\, Droog\, MidWest and QRU. \nWhile a five-year anniversary calls for celebration\, each day we are reminded of why we felt the need for a festival like Sprouts in the first place. 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 we cherish the brave filmmakers of our 2026 edition so deeply: they defy systems to share bold\, uncompromising visions. We also support the shaping of a new generation of green storytellers by hosting our very first Sprouts Eco Shorts Pitch and Industry Day. \nFrom 1 – 7 June\, let us focus on bringing people together and inspiring one another to resist. Whether by visiting our free Eco Expo\, joining our community dinners\, attending outdoor screenings\, supporting our fundraiser for Sudan\, or simply collectively watching a film together. \nLIVE AUDIOVISUAL SHOW: Tharim Cornelisse & Oceanic \n \n​​As both a DJ and a producer Oceanic creates immersive and shape-shifting environments in which boundaries dissolve. Like tides\, the musical experiences Oceanic creates feel driven by forces bigger than the sum of their parts. Here he finds overlap with the work of visual artist Tharim Cornelisse. Cornelisse uses his own custom digital tools and techniques to create emotive abstract digital worlds within live performances where audio\, light and visuals merge and enhance one another. \n In their live audiovisual performance Choral Feeling\, named after Oceanic his critically acclaimed debut album\, Oceanic and Cornelisse found their first collaborative piece. A performance built around visceral human movement and connection between bodies where live visuals are mixed\, manipulated and tell a narrative that finds connection with the live music being played. \nhttps://www.instagram.com/tharimcornelisse/ \nhttps://www.instagram.com/oceanic.ocean/ \nMore info about the festival: https://sproutsfilmfestival.com/ URL:https://www.droog.com/program/sprouts-film-festival-2/ LOCATION:@droog CATEGORIES:Screening ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.droog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Rewire_2024_01.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20260605T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20260605T210000 DTSTAMP:20260422T011241 CREATED:20260409T141221Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260409T141221Z UID:10000307-1780687800-1780693200@www.droog.com SUMMARY:Sprouts Film Festival DESCRIPTION:More information to come… URL:https://www.droog.com/program/sprouts-film-festival-3/ LOCATION:@droog CATEGORIES:Screening END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260610 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260611 DTSTAMP:20260422T011241 CREATED:20260409T140117Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260409T140117Z UID:10000302-1781049600-1781135999@www.droog.com SUMMARY:Nu Reality: The Living Gallery DESCRIPTION:Step Inside Art with VR\nWhat if you could do more than just look at a work of art.
