BoostNL

BoostNL brings Dutch projects together with international ones – those supported by IFFR’s Hubert Bals Fund – to create a unique international platform for co-development. The programme starts at the Holland Film Meeting (HFM) of the Netherlands Film Festival, and finishes at the IFFR Pro Days.

The main aim of the programme is to offer guidance to the selected projects as well as exposure to new potential partners.

Programme

During NFF the focus for the selected projects is a customised expert programme with script consultants, festival, sales and marketing strategy experts as well as specific film professionals upon the request of the project teams.

At IFFR the programme delves into professional group workflows, proposing a method that fosters a new attitude towards giving and receiving project feedback during the development stage. The approach applies to both artistic and production values while expanding the possibilities for collective learning.
