The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands has recently launched a partnership with DAKILA, an organization of artists and advocates building a movement of heroism towards social transformation, through a Dutch-Filipino film festival happening from May to October around key cities in the Philippines.

The film festival is part of the celebration of  Netherlands’ 65 years of diplomatic relations and 150 years of consular ties with the Philippines entitled “Inspire Innovation: Leading Sustainable Innovations toward a Progressive World”.

The films will highlight the two nations’ commitment to promoting human rights and the development of sustainable innovations to help resolve global challenges.
