CFPs: Realization of Minority Co-Production Fund

Funding Information

• The maximum contribution is €50,000.

Who is eligible?

• A production company (a legal entity, not a sole proprietorship or partnership) that has been established in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, a member state of the EU, EEA or Switzerland for at least two years and produces and exploits films and other audiovisual productions on a continuous basis.
• The production company is represented by the Dutch minority co-producer. As a major producer, he/she has been primarily responsible for realizing:
  • at least one free animation production (not a commissioned film) in the Netherlands (application for short animation);
  • at least one free, non-commissioned production in the Netherlands (request for research & experiment).

Conditions

• To be eligible for a contribution, the film production within the total range of international co-productions must be of exceptional artistic and substantive quality and be linked to a substantial creative and technical contribution from film professionals from the Netherlands.
• The following conditions and obligations apply to subsidies:
  • The applicant must have exclusive filming and exploitation rights for preferably the Benelux and, if the rights for Belgium and Luxembourg have already been granted, at least these rights in Dutch territory.
  • The film production must be released in the Netherlands, either in film theaters or with a non-theatrical release or both. For a film production in the short animation category and research & experiment, an exception will be made, but then a thorough distribution plan must be submitted.
  • The financing of a film production must be fully and unconditionally demonstrably committed by third parties within 12 months of the decision to grant a subsidy.
  • The applicant shares pro rata in the world revenues of the film production.
  • The subsidy amount must be spent entirely in the Netherlands (cast, crew, etc.).
