One of the defining features of the awards is its ambassador program. These are seasoned professionals from across entertainment, media, and leadership who serve as mentors and advocates for the event. Their involvement lends both credibility and opportunity. Filmmakers don’t just attend the awards; they gain access to workshops and insights from people shaping the industry. The Tuschinski Theater in Amsterdam is not just a venue—it’s an icon. Built in 1921, it combines Art Deco and Expressionist architecture, often ranked as one of the world’s most beautiful cinemas.
Hosting the Septimius Awards here creates an atmosphere where cinema’s history meets its future. Guests walk the same red carpets where legends have stood, while also looking toward emerging artists shaping tomorrow’s film culture. This makes Septimius unique—it’s not just rewarding the “best” in a Western context, but the most impactful voices across cultures. Through panel discussions, Q&A sessions, and evening receptions, participants find potential collaborators, investors, and mentors—connections that often extend far beyond the event itself.
