From its very start in 1937 Het Filmgesprek has supported activities featuring meaningful conversations about cinema. The Dutch foundation challenges moviegoers to reflect on their perception and to engage in an in-depth conversation about cinema and the important life questions it provokes. Among it's activities is the organization of the World Cinema Exchange Award at the festival World Cinema Amsterdam.
