Foreword Dear guests, A warm welcome to the 28th edition of the Holland Film Meeting (HFM), the international industry programme of the Netherlands Film Festival. It is always a pleasure to see old and new friends and colleagues from all over Europe gathering in Utrecht. We are delighted to present this years’ four-day programme to you, which includes a focus day on European series, seminars, workshops, and of course the HFM CoProduction Platform, the Binger/Screen International Interview and the HFM Work-in-Progress Session.

It has always been our ambition to provide an effective meeting place for film professionals from the Netherlands and abroad. We furthermore want to support European filmmakers and help their co-productions by selecting and presenting film projects-in-development at the HFM Co-Pro Platform. More details on the selected projects and previous works of the filmmakers are provided by Festival Scope.

In this year’s country focus we have chosen to highlight our neighbouring countries Germany and Belgium.

Therefore we are extra happy to welcome the German scriptwriters taking part in the programme Stories & Beyond and the producers from the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, who will meet with their Dutch counterparts in the programme The New Generation Producers.

In the panel Audience across the Borders, we will examine and discuss distribution strategies of recent film productions with a group of experts. It is interesting to compare how some of the recent European television series seem to travel the continent – and the world – with great success. This new phenomenon will be scrutinised in the seminar Be Dramatic! The New Wave of European Series.

During your stay in Utrecht we would also like to invite you to discover the most recent Dutch films and TV productions by attending our International Screenings or if you prefer, by streaming the films of our resurrected Digital Film Library.

In this guide you will find a complete overview of the programme, times, dates and venues as well as all other necessary practical information. It further contains a list of all guests in attendance.

Without the support of our financiers the Holland Film Meeting would not be possible so a big and warm thank-you goes to all our national and international partners and sponsors. On behalf of the Holland Film Meeting team we hope you find inspiration, pleasure and success over the coming days in Utrecht.
