Submit Applications for Realization Minority Coproduction – Feature Film, Long Animation Film and Documentary

The submitted film plans are assessed by a committee based on artistic-content quality and the substantial creative and technical input of film professionals from the Netherlands. In addition, the production-business documents are assessed by the production agency.

International co-production sharpens the artistic vision of the maker, provides a broader financial basis for film projects and contributes to the international visibility of Dutch films, film professionals and the film industry. In addition, it promotes professional knowledge and creative exchange. The artistic and financial collaboration has a positive impact on the visibility of Dutch talent abroad and offers Dutch makers a greater chance to break through on the international market.
