The Holland Film Meeting (HFM) is the international heartbeat of the Netherlands Film Festival, providing a series of business-oriented events for the international professionals in attendance. Since its inception in 1994 the Holland Film Meeting has established itself as one of Europe's key stopping-off points for the finance of independent film. The HFM consists yearly of the Benelux Screenings, the Netherlands Production Platform (NPP), professional workshops and panels, the Cinema Militans Lecture and the Binger-Screen International Interview.
This year the HFM will expand even further. As of 2012, all Industry programme features of the Netherlands Film Festival will be included in a five days Holland Film Meeting programme. Programme additions will consist of Dutch Drama Day and a Young Talent Focus, amongst other events.
This year's Holland Film Meeting will run from 27 September to October 1. The full HFM programme will be published here in early September.
