Stichting Nederlands Fonds voor de Film is the Netherlands’ national film fund, supporting the full chain from development and production to distribution and film culture. Its strongest emphasis is on Dutch feature films, documentaries, animation, emerging talent, and experimental/immersive work, with additional support for minority co-productions that include a Dutch share. It also plays an industry-building role through production incentives and international promotion initiatives tied to Dutch film visibility.
Program-based, competitive grant rounds with published deadlines; funding is mainly project-specific rather than open-ended. Support is typically tied to production, development, talent labs, or incentives, with separate schemes for different formats and sometimes partner rounds for co-productions.
Apply through the specific scheme that matches your format and stage, and pay close attention to the listed deadlines and eligibility rules. International projects usually need a Dutch share or Dutch partner, while emerging makers should look at Wildcards, Teledoc Campus, or experimentation-focused calls. Keep materials tailored to the exact program, since documentary, animation, feature, XR, and co-production applications are handled separately.
