Holland Film Meeting

The Holland Film Meeting (HFM) was the international programme of the Netherlands Film Festival focused on the promotion and development of Dutch audiovisual projects and professionals with international potential. The programme welcomed fiction, nonfiction and interactive at all projects stages.

For both international guests and participants, the HFM provided a platform for collaboration and networking during the Netherlands Film Festival. The three trajectories within the HFM provided a collaborative programme for developing, positioning, and distributing of projects.

In 2024, the Netherlands Film Festival received the news that the municipality of Utrecht will not continue its structural four-year funding during the policy period of 2025 – 2028. As a result, the Holland Film Meeting (HFM) has been discontinued (for the time being).

Below, you can read more about what the HFM programme was and what it offered.

Programme

Within three distinctive trajectories, the HFM programme offered projects and participants the opportunity to creatively develop their works and skills in a safe and collaborative environment. It was a service-based platform, with positioning, visibility, and audience reach at its core. The programme included workshops during the summer, and one-on-one expert meetings with mentors during the festival days in September.

HFM trajectories

The focus of HFM is the project's participants needs and wishes to find the most suitable industry professionals to coach them and mentor them during their tailor-made trajectories.
