The Netherlands Film Fund, the country’s main film agency, has recently announced the third round of contributions provided by the 2018 Film Production Incentive. This provision offers financial contributions in the form of cash rebates on the eligible production expenditures incurred in the Netherlands. The organisation will invest €4.2 million in 15 new audiovisual projects, namely 11 feature-length fiction films, two feature documentary films, one documentary series and one animated drama series. Eight of these projects are international co-productions.
