The Pink Media Foundation (Stichting Pink Media), the organizer of the Roze Filmdagen, is recognized by the tax authorities as an PBO (ANBI) or 'public benefit organization (‘algemeen nut beogende instelling'). This means that we do not have to pay tax on donations, and that under certain conditions you can also deduct a grant to us from your income tax. With the status of ANBI also comes transparency; the most important data about us are listed below.

5 - Policy Plan

The Stichting Pink Media has already organized 28 successful editions of Roze Filmdagen | Amsterdam LGTBQ+ Film Festival since 1996.

Our policy plan looks as follows:

Roze Filmdagen will have its 29th edition from March 18 to March 29, 2026. For 12 days cinema Het Ketelhuis and partly the De Krakeling theater on the Westergasterrein in Amsterdam will again be dedicated to a vibrant mix of film, art, music and parties - where the connection with LGBTQ+ related ' film' is always leading.

The film festival has grown in recent years from 4,400 visitors in 2008 to almost 10,000 visitors in 2025. This has made us the largest queer film festival in the Netherlands. The festival is therefore a full-fledged counterpart to Gay Pride. This means that Amsterdam has a major LGBTQ+ event in the spring and summer.

In terms of content, the festival will again consist of a mix of feature films, short films and documentaries. The target group is, in addition to the entire LGBTQ+ community in all its facets, also every film lover regardless of sexual preference and age. With a mix of entertainment and depth, we want to highlight themes that are important to the queer community, and showcase the best of what queer cinema is producing worldwide. With a special focus on short films, we want to offer beginning filmmakers a platform, and with a wide range of events we want to be a meeting point where discussion, visibility and attention to current affairs are combined with fun. The festival also promotes Dutch LGBTQ+ films abroad.

6 - Compensation Policy:

Salary: There are three permanent paid employees for the festival, whose salaries meet Fair Pay requirements. The same applies to temporary production and education employees. In addition, the festival cannot take place without around 30 enthusiastic volunteers.

Remuneration of board members: The members of the board will never receive honorarium, wages or other material benefits from the foundation. However, they are entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred in their position and for the benefit of the foundation, insofar as approved by the board.

7 - Statement of Intent

From the statutes of association, in 1997: "The aim of the foundation is to provide and broadcast television programs and other multimedia expressions that are primarily intended for the homosexual community of the Netherlands and Flanders."

In practice, the objective has shifted to showing multimedia expressions in the setting of a film festival and related activities. And by 'homosexual community' we explicitly mean gay, lesbian, trans, bi, queer and all other sexual and gender identities.
