The Hubert Bals Fund (HBF), run by the International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR), has announced its 2018 selection for the HBF+Europe: Minority Co-production Support scheme. The programme aims to encourage European producers to participate as minority co-producers in film projects hailing from Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and parts of Eastern Europe.

Totalling €260,000, the support will be distributed equally among five feature-film projects from Argentina, Chile, Mexico, China and Indonesia. The financial contribution – €52,000 for each project – will be received through their European co-producers from the Netherlands, Germany, France and Denmark. It’s worth noting that 25% of this funding should be spent in Europe.

Marit van den Elshout, head of IFFR PRO, stated: “Through the HBF+Europe programme, which is supported by the Creative Europe – MEDIA programme of the European Union, we are able to forge a strong relationship between European co-producers and the rest of the world. We’ve selected five excellent-looking projects that are well on their way in terms of development and will soon start their production phase alongside a European co-producer. We’re excited to see the result of these collaborative efforts on screen in the near future.”

The supported projects are outlined below.
