Edith van der Heijde
Edith van der Heijde works at the Eye Filmmuseum in the Netherlands. As part of the SEE NL department, she is the international promotion manager for Dutch shorts and experimental film. SEE NL is a collaboration between Eye Filmmuseum and the Netherlands Film Fund.
It is responsible for internationally promoting Dutch films, the Dutch film industry and Dutch film culture through various activities, including providing advice on festival strategy, international promotion and support and organising international promotional activities and focus programmes for Dutch film.
She also manages the Eye’s national distribution platform for Dutch short films, the Short Film Pool (Korte Film Poule). This platform aims to get the Dutch short film visible in Dutch cinemas by making them available through a subscription. The Short Film Poule catalogue contains both short films from the extensive Eye archive as well as recent works that are successful in the (inter)national festival circuit. Furthermore she distributes a small catalogue of Dutch experimental short films and artist’s moving image to international festivals, the Eye Experimental catalogue.
