Support for first two Thuthuka projects

We introduced Thuthuka in July 2021 to promote cooperation between South Africa and the Netherlands. Under this scheme an application can be submitted for a contribution for writing an original script for a feature (animation)film or documentary.

A total of 4 projects will be supported each year: 2 Dutch majority and 2 South African majority films.

In this first round, the next two Dutch majority projects are selected:
