HFM - Frequently Asked Questions

What is NFF Professionals?

NFF Professionals is a part of the Netherlands Film Festival meant for professionals in the Dutch av-sector. This year, the Professionals Programme takes place from the 27 September to 1 October. You can go to the Professionals page for more information.

What was the 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.

What happened to the Holland Film Meeting?

Unfortunately, with the missing structural four-year funding from the municipality of Utrecht, certain changes were necessary to make up for the annual loss of around €600.000,-. Amongst the cuts that we had to make, was the Holland Film Meeting which has been discontinued (for the time being).

What is the Talent Programme?

The NFF brings new makers (trained and self-taught) and av professionals into contact with each other in an accessible way. Various talent programmes are organised annually during the NFF Talent Day. At the Talent Square, funds, broadcasters, regional hubs and talent development institutions are ready to answer all your questions. In 2025, the Talent Day will be held on Monday 29 September.
