Student accreditation

IFFR Student accreditation gives students a unique behind-the-scenes look at the largest film festival in the Netherlands. IFFR is an essential hub for discovering film talent, many world and international premieres, and a wealth of curated programmes including short films, features, documentaries and art installations. IFFR also actively supports filmmakers to realise their film projects through its Hubert Bals Fund (HBF) and CineMart.

An IFFR 2025 Student accreditation provides

• Admission to public screenings (excluding special events like opening/closing/Volkskrantdag)
• Admission to IFFR Talks
• Admission to Art Directions: Immersive Media

With your accreditation you can reserve a total of 15 tickets.

Please note: events at IFFR have a limited capacity, so attendance to the above requires reserving your place.
