Development minority co-productions NFF+NFI

Dutch minority co-productions in the documentary category that have received development support from the Norwegian Film Institute (NFI) are eligible for development funding through this scheme.

The Netherlands Film Fund and the Norwegian Film Institute (NFI) have jointly developed a scheme through which Dutch minority co-productions in the documentary category that previously received development support from the NFI may apply for an additional bonus contribution of up to €15,000 for the project’s development. The aim of the scheme is to strengthen collaboration between the Dutch and Norwegian film sectors.

The contribution is specifically intended to reinforce the project’s co-production structure and its positioning within the international market.

The scheme is aimed at Norwegian–Dutch feature-length documentaries that are being developed as co-productions and have already received development support from the NFI.

Applications can be submitted by the Dutch minority co-producer (click here). This producer must have had prime responsibility as a majority producer for the realisation of at least one long documentary with a cinema release.

• Maximum €15,000

Max. 17.5% in producer’s fee & overheads on the costs that the Fund considers eligible for a grant.

All the guide amounts can be found in Chapter 2 of the Financial & Production Protocol.

• The film production must have received development support from NFI
  
• The tasks and responsibilities of both producers with regard to: further developing the project, the coproduction structure and the positioning in the international market, must be agreed upon in a deal memo.

Applications may be submitted throughout the year.

The documentary consultant and a representative of the NFI will carry out the assessment together.

The Film Fund Production department will assess the production and business aspects of the application.

The granting of a development application does not guarantee the outcome of any subsequent application.
