Subsidy for film productions
On this page
Film producers, directors, screenwriters, and distributors in the Netherlands may be eligible for a subsidy from the Netherlands Film Fund (Nederlands Filmfonds).
Funding options are available for the development, production, post-production, screening, and distribution of films. There are different categories, such as New Dawn, experimental cinematics, and shorts. Funding options are available for feature films, animation films, documentaries, and films for a general audience.
To reinforce the international competitive position of the Dutch film industry as a whole, the Netherlands Film Production Incentive offers grants in the form of a cash rebate for feature films, long documentaries and long animated films that are primarily intended for the cinema.
When do you qualify?
Each scheme has different conditions. You will find a selection of film subsidies on the Netherlands Film Fund's website. The Dutch-language page has an overview of all subsidies.
