For Internationals
IFA is one of the oldest film festivals with a feminist tradition in Europe, the only festival with such an orientation in The Netherlands, and one of the few places in Drenthe that programs arthouse films.
IFA 2025
The 45th edition of Internationaal Filmfestival Assen will take place from 6 until 9 March 2025 in DNK, Assen (Weiersstraat 1).
About IFA
International Film Festival Assen (IFA) is an annual four-day film festival that focuses on the role of women in front of and behind the camera. IFA strengthens the position of women in film by providing a platform for female filmmakers, and telling stories from perspectives that are not dominant in film. Every year IFA offers a program full of recently released (inter)national titles, exclusive pre-releases and a careful selection of last year’s best films that match the IFA mission. Join in with our in-depth panel talks, various introductions and Q&A’s with filmmakers and guest programmers. In the foyer you can enjoy the Contour program, with performing arts, exhibitions and live music every day. In addition, there are short film competitions for new Dutch and Northern filmmaking talent: KersVers and Noordsterren, for which prizes will be awarded during the festival by a professional jury.
