The Koorenhuis is an iconic building in the centre of The Hague. Its name, ‘The Corn House’, refers to its original use as a warehouse for storing and trading corn. Built in 1662, the building is a charming example of Dutch classicism, with red bricks and symmetrical blocks featuring large windows, devoid of ostentatious flourishes. From 1656 to 1849, it was the artistic centre of The Hague and home to the Confrérie Pictura, a society of artists who would later found the Royal Academy of Art. The building’s spacious interior is home to all kinds of cultural activities, from music concerts to workshops and private events.

Perhaps due to its history as a cultural epicentre, Het Koorenhuis is the perfect venue for our film festival, offering a unique opportunity to mingle with filmmakers from around the globe and celebrate the 7th art.
