Unidentified Anomalous Pictures International Film Festival is a physical event in the Netherlands that focuses on documentaries, feature films and short films about Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), Unidentified Submerged Objects (USOs) and anything related. Think of subjects like disclosure, flying saucer lore, abductions, cattle mutilation, MiB, crash retrievals, NHI, extraterrestrial intelligence and more exotic theories (like the interdimensional, ultraterrestrial, extratempestrial hypothesis, etc).

Unidentified Anomalous Pictures film festival is held in Hilversum, The Netherlands. The Dutch are a rather down-to-earth people and there is nothing wrong with that. But we are convinced that the subject of UAP/UFOs deserves more sincere attention in the Netherlands. We hope that this festival and the films we show can help to start a healthy discussion and show people that this subject is not only entertainment but that it also deserves a serious look. And maybe, just maybe, the subject will turn your view of our reality upside down.

Unidentified Anomalous Pictures film festival will be held at Filmtheater Hilversum. A beautiful arthouse theater that can be found at the heart of historic Hilversum (a city 15 miles south-east of Amsterdam). Filmtheater Hilversum started in 1978, has three state of the art theatres and it is run by approximately 100 volunteers.

Note: During the festival there will also be UAP/UFO related lectures, panels and of course introductions to the films (these will be in Dutch).
