The Holland Film Meeting (HFM) is the international heartbeat of the Netherlands Film Festival, providing a series of business-oriented events for the international professionals in attendance. The HFM consists of the Benelux Screenings, the Netherlands Production Platform (NPP), professional workshops and panels, the Cinema Militants Programme and the Binger-Screen International Interview. The focus this year will be on the prospering film industry of Turkey.

The NPP presents a maximum of 25 Dutch and European new independent film projects to a selected group of European and Dutch industry professionals with the aim to encourage co-production and/or collaboration between European countries and the Netherlands. The participating international and Dutch professionals cover the areas of production, sales, financing, distribution and funding.

Essential elements in the presentation sessions are the authenticity of the story and the international appeal and market potential of the project. The 5-day event, which includes public presentations and individual meetings, also offers ample opportunity to get acquainted with the Dutch film industry and its players.
