CO-PRODUCING WITH THE NETHERLANDS Introduction The Netherlands is home to a vibrant film industry with an open attitude towards international co-production. The Netherlands Film Fund is the national agency responsible for supporting film production and film related activities in the Netherlands. Its focus is to develop and strengthen Dutch cinema and film culture both domestically and internationally. The Film Fund offers various selective support schemes on production and distribution for minority Dutch coproductions. It also runs the Film Production Incentive, offering a 30% cash rebate on production costs spent in the Netherlands and oversees the activities of the Netherlands Film Commission. The Netherlands has co-production treaties with Canada, France, Germany, China, South Africa and the French Community of Belgium. Furthermore the Netherlands Film Fund collaborates in international reciprocal co-production schemes with the Flanders Audiovisual Fund, Norwegian Film Institute, the Hubert Bals Fund and the Mitteldeutsche MedienfoĚˆrderung MDM. In this brochure we are happy to guide you through the primary principles of the different support schemes. Please feel invited to contact us and find out why co-producing with the Netherlands is indeed worthwhile exploring! Doreen Boonekamp CEO Netherlands Film Fund 3
