The Fellowships Programme, established in 2023, is designed for mid-career makers who are engaged in a research project within the field of Digital Culture. With this programme, makers and/or collectives are encouraged to explore new technologies, themes and tools, and initiate collaborations. Between 2023 and 2025, three fellows will work on their research proposals every year, which they will then present during the Netherlands Film Festival (NFF).
Following a selection, three makers/collectives a year will be given the space to deliver a research proposal at the intersection of society and technology within the disciplines of science, visual art, film, gaming, design or other types of visual culture. Each year the research concludes with a report of the research results. After three years, the Fellowships Programme is completed and the results are published on the NFF website.
