Vlieland filmfestival

Who is going on a trip with us? Off the Map is teaming up with Podium Vlieland, the cutest filmtheater on the island Vlieland, in the north of the Netherlands to organize a film-weekend on February 20-22, 2026. Through films, we will travel to unrecognized countries, micronations, disputed border areas, and other geographical oddities. And beyond the news and geopolitics, we explore wondrous places and captivating human stories.

For three days, you’ll travel around the globe without having to leave your comfy cinema seat, exploring features, documentaries, lectures, presentations, and a lively quiz. By your De Facto team AND by islandophile/writer/parttime islander Adwin de Kluyver. Expect films about borderzones, borders and island-stories. Of course there will also be time to go for walks on the beach and to go explore the island by bike. The program will be in Dutch. We can’t imagine a better way to spend a bleak February weekend and we are looking forward to meeting you there! Check out the arrangements here.
