FFF Lab Sessions 2025

The FFF Lab Sessions, previously known as A Lab Sessions, are a distinctive feature of the Fraud Film Festival. Beyond the film screenings at Tuschinski, we invite you to join these interactive sessions where creativity, fraud, and societal issues intersect. In collaboration with our partners, we host engaging Lab Sessions that encourage you to actively participate and discuss. These sessions offer a unique opportunity to delve into and creatively explore current and relevant topics.

Lab Session | Serious Game: Dirty Money

In this Lab Session (in Dutch) you and your fellow players take on the role of a legitimate entrepreneur with personal reasons for partnering with a criminal organization. Your objective is to earn one million euros as swiftly as possible by strategically leveraging your network’s services and goods. Achieving this goal will resolve your character's dilemma.

 

The game immerses you in the complex interaction between the underworld and legitimate business, helping you recognize key signals of criminal influence. Additionally, you'll discover how entrepreneurs can play a crucial role in combating this infiltration. 

(Note: this game is in Dutch)

Lab Session | Breach of trust |Panel discussion

THIS PANEL DISCUSSION IS IN ENGLISH

How hidden networks and coordinated campaigns transform lies into influence and power.

Lies travel faster than the truth—especially online.
Renée DiResta, author of "Invisible Rulers" and Associate Research Professor at Georgetown University, will join Sean Cotter-Lem of the John Adams Institute for a panel discussion with you and others. She will reveal the shadowy actors who influence public opinion and explain why, in the digital age, a lie can bypass the benchmarks and become the truth. What can we do about it?

This FFF Lab Session will be led by Renée DiResta and Sean Cotter-Lem (John Adams Institute).

Lab Session | Geo politics & misinformation | Panel discussion

This Lab Session explores the influence of current geopolitics and misinformation on surveillance and investigation.

Europe's power is waning. Asia and the Middle East are no longer emerging powers; Russia has been at war on the European front for over three years, and since the arrival of Trump and his policies, the world has looked completely different and, above all, unstable. This instability is further fueled by misinformation.
What does this mean for our supervisory bodies and for law enforcement?
We will be discussing this with contributions from, among others, the DNB, the Hague Centre for Strategic Studies, and ABN AMRO.
