PROFESSIONALS GIDS 2018 PROFESSIONALS GUIDE 2018 28 september – 1 oktober 28 September – 1 October
Voorwoord Welkom collega’s, Vier dagen lang is NFF Professionals de plek voor de hele sector om elkaar te ontmoeten, te inspireren en nieuwe kennis uit te wisselen. In een klein land vol eigenzinnige makers, uiteenlopende belangen en grote concurrentie vanuit het buitenland is dit belangrijker dan ooit. Daarom nodigen we jullie van harte uit om elkaar te bevragen, inspireren en te informeren, met als gezamenlijk doel de kwaliteit, zichtbaarheid en toegankelijkheid van Nederlandse producties te vergroten. Met deze ambitie als vertrekpunt heeft het NFF Professionals programma dit jaar een vernieuwde vorm gevonden. Het programma start met de NFF Conferentie waarbij we constructieve discussies faciliteren en makers uit elk vakgebied uitnodigen hun visies te delen, uitgedaagd te zien en aan te scherpen. Naast het agenderen van belangrijke onderwerpen die de hele industrie aangaan, wil het NFF een plek van inspiratie zijn, voor alle departementen. We hopen jullie dan ook allen te zien bij de masterclasses van o.a. Jan Harlan (producent van o.a. Kubrick en Spielberg), William Simpson (storyboarder Game of Thrones), Karen Palmer (award-winning ‘storyteller from the Future’), Dylan Tichenor (vaste editor Paul Thomas Anderson) of bij Be Dramatic!, een ochtend die geheel in het teken staat van Europese series. Tot slot blijven project- en talentontwikkeling en het delen van expertise belangrijke speerpunten tijdens het NFF Professionals programma. De co-productiemarkt Holland Film Meeting heeft plaatsgemaakt voor meer op maat gemaakte programma’s voor projecten in ontwikkeling, die samenwerking en kennisuitwisseling tussen de Nederlandse en internationale filmindustrie stimuleren. Belangrijke onderdelen hiervan zijn BoostNL (i.s.m. IFFR PRO), Stories & Beyond, en de allereerste editie van SOLD!. In deze gids worden deze programma’s en de geselecteerde projecten gepresenteerd. Daarnaast organiseert NFF Professionals ook dit jaar weer de Talent Speeddates, de Talent Feedback Sessies en presenteren wij vier veelbelovende Talents en Route! We bedanken alle partners, betrokkenen, en collega’s uit de sector voor de samenwerking die tot dit programma heeft geleid. We hopen hier met elkaar op te kunnen proosten tijdens de Closing Party voor de hele AVindustrie op maandagavond. Namens het hele professionals team wensen we jullie een inspirerend, uitdagend en verbindend NFF Professionals programma toe. Silvia van der Heiden Algemeen Directeur NFF

Foreword Welcome colleagues,
Colofon / Colophon
For four days NFF Professionals is the place for the entire industry to meet, inspire and exchange. In a small country like The Netherlands, with its unconventional creatives, a wide spectrum of interests and heavy competition from international talent, this is more important than ever. We wholeheartedly invite you therefore to question, to challenge and to inform — and to share your visions with others. The goal is to improve the quality, visibility and accessibility of Dutch productions. Against this unique backdrop, NFF Professionals has found its new direction, and we are proud to present it to you. The program starts with the NFF Conference, where the focus will be on debate and discussion among professionals from every corner of the industry. Furthermore, NFF aims to inspire. We therefore hope to see you at our masterclasses that feature, among others, Jan Harlan (producer of a.o. Kubrick and Spielberg), William Simpson (storyboard-artist Game of Thrones), Karen Palmer (award-winning ‘Storyteller from the Future’) and Dylan Tichenor (editor for Paul Thomas Anderson). We also welcome you to the dynamic Be Dramatic! programme that focuses on the development, production and presentation of successful European TV series. Project and talent development and the interchange of expertise will always be strong pillars of the NFF Professionals program. The former Holland Film Meeting co-production market has evolved into a series of tailor-made programs for projects in development that encourage collaboration and exchange between the Dutch and international industries and professionals. Important elements within this include the BoostNL programme (in collaboration with IFFR PRO), Stories & Beyond programme and the inaugural SOLD!. This guide will outline all the programs as well as each selected project. Simultaneously, NFF Professionals is once again host to the Talent Speed-dates and Talent Feedback Sessions, and we are happy to present to you four highly promising Dutch Talents en Route! We want to thank all our partners, colleagues and fellow professionals involved in the creation of this program. And when it is all over, we look forward to raising our glasses in celebration at the Closing Party on Monday night, which is open to all industry professionals. On behalf of the entire Professionals team, we wish you an inspiring, challenging and engaging NFF Professionals program.

Het NFF en het Netwerk Scenarioschrijvers presenteren ook dit jaar een bijeenkomst die in het teken staat van het scenario. Dit jaar zijn de collega’s van de scenaristen aan het woord. Hoe brengen regisseurs, DoP’s, production designers en andere filmers een scenario tot leven en wat kunnen ze van elkaar leren? Filmmaker Elizabeth E. Schuch is deze middag hoofdgast. Zij geeft een keynote over haar bijdrage als storyboarder aan grote films als Wonder Woman en Pacific Rim: Uprising en hoe zij haar ervaringen gebruikt als scenarist en regisseur van haar eigen werk. Producent Stienette Bosklopper en actrice Marjolein Beumer vertellen over hun ervaringen met het schrijven van scenario’s naast hun oorspronkelijke disciplines. En het creatieve team van de prijswinnende ‘One Night Stand’ Jungle analyseert met scenarist Ashar Medina de ‘vertaling’ van zijn scenario naar een visueel medium. Aan het slot wordt de Visser-Neerlandia prijs uitgereikt, een prijs voor een nog te produceren scenario. De prijs wordt jaarlijks uitgereikt door het Algemeen Nederlands Verbond (ANV).
Once again the NFF and the Dutch Screenwriters’ Network will examine the subject of the screenplay and will assess how directors, DoPs, production designers and other creative professionals seek to bring a script to life, and what can they learn from each other? Filmmaker Elizabeth E. Schuch will be the guest of honour at this event and will give a keynote about her contribution as a storyboarder on blockbusters such as Wonder Woman and Pacific Rim: Uprising, emphasising how she utilises her own experiences as scriptwriter and director. Leading Dutch professionals Stienette Bosklopper (producer) and actress Marjolein Beumer will tell how they applied skills learned in their core disciplines when writing their own successful screenplays. In addition, the creative team behind awardwinning One Night Stand project Jungle will analyze, together with writer Ashar Medina, how they transposed Ashar’s scenario to screen.

Jan Harlan: Music as a Scripting Tool Zaterdag 29 september 10:00–12:30 uur Saturday September 29 10:00–12:30h
Jan Harlan was Stanley Kubrick’s vaste producent sinds Barry Lyndon én werkte met o.a. Steven Spielberg. In deze inspirerende lezing combineert Harlan zijn vertelkunst met zijn liefde voor (film)muziek. Velen beschouwen muziek nog steeds alleen als onderdeel van de post-productie, maar Harlan toont aan hoe de soundtrack juist de structuur van een hele film kan bepalen. Muziek is tekenend geweest voor hoe Jan Harlan de filmwereld is ingerold. Zijn zwager Stanley Kubrick vroeg hem in 1968 of hij hem kon helpen bij de muziekkeuze voor zijn film over Napoleon. Hoewel de film er nooit kwam, bleef de samenwerking voortbestaan. Én de gezamenlijke passie voor leidende muziek in film. Als pleitbezorger van de kracht van een score vertelt Harlan in deze lezing over een volgens hem vaak vergeten onderwerp op filmscholen; muziek in film. Aan de hand van tal van voorbeelden laat hij zien hoe muziek narratief en uitleg kan vervangen. Daarbij gaat hij in op filmrechten en andere juridische zaken. Hoe maak je als beginnend filmmaker een score van wereldklasse met een klein budget? De Duits-Amerikaanse Harlan is de zoon van twee operazangers. Door zijn ruim vijftig jaar aan ervaring in de filmwereld, is hij een vaste gastdocent aan The European Film College in Denemarken. Hij was één van de producers van The Shining en regisseerde een documentaire over het leven van Stanley Kubrick: Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures.
Jan Harlan was Stanley Kubrick’s regular producer since Barry Lyndon and worked with Steven Spielberg, to give one example. In this inspiring talk, Harlan combines his narrative skills with his love for (film)music. Many people still consider music as part of post-production, but Harlan demonstrates how a soundtrack can determine the structure of an entire film. Music was instrumental in Harlan’s entrance into the world of cinema. In 1968, his brother-in-law Stanley Kubrick asked if he could help select the music for his film about Napoleon. The film was never realised, but their collaboration persevered. As did their joint passion for leading music in cinema. As an advocate of the power of a score, Harlan will talk about a topic he thinks is often ignored at film academies; music in film. Illustrated by numerous examples, he will show how music can replace narrative and explanation. He will dwell on movie rights and other legal matters. How does a fledgling filmmaker compose a world-class score on a small budget? The German-American Harlan is the son of two opera singers. Owing to his fifty years of experience in cinema, he is a regular guest lecturer at The European Film College in Denmark. He was one of the producers of The Shining and directed a documentary on Stanley Kubrick’s life: Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures.
Deze lezing is georganiseerd door Shortcutz Amsterdam (Labz) en NFF, en wordt gesponsord door Buma Cultuur.

Tichenor monteerde naast zijn werk voor Anderson, (van Boogie Nights en Magnolia tot het dit jaar uitgekomen Phantom Thread), films als Unbreakable voor M. Night Shyamalan, The Royal Tenenbaums voor Wes Anderson en The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford voor Andrew Dominik. In 2005 nam hij de montage over voor Ang Lee’s Brokeback Mountain. Een uitdagende klus, niet in de laatste plaats omdat hij inviel voor zijn plots overleden leermeester Geraldine Peroni van wie hij het vak leerde bij de films van Robert Altman. Zijn twee Academy Award nominaties verdiende hij voor There Will Be Blood (Paul Thomas Anderson, 2007) en Zero Dark Thirty (Kathryn Bigelow, 2012). Deze masterclass is georganiseerd door de Nederlandse vereniging van Cinema-Editors (NCE) en NFF. Voertaal Engels
In this new edition of the International NCE-Editing Masterclass, the NFF gives the floor to twice Oscarnominated Dylan Tichenor, ACE, known as Paul Thomas Anderson’s regular editor. Illustrated by fragments from his most famous projects, Tichenor will tell about his work. Apart from his work for Anderson (from Boogie Nights and Magnolia to Phantom Thread, released this year), Tichenor edited films such as Unbreakable for M. Night Shyamalan, The Royal Tenenbaums for Wes Anderson and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford for Andrew Dominik. In 2005, he took over editing duties for Ang Lee’s Brokeback Mountain. A challenging job, not least because he filled in for his suddenly deceased mentor Geraldine Peroni, who taught him the ropes while editing Robert Altman’s films. He earned his two Academy Award nominations for There Will Be Blood (Paul Thomas Anderson, 2007) and Zero Dark Thirty (Kathryn Bigelow, 2012). This masterclass has been organised by the Netherlands Association of Cinema Editors (NCE) and NFF. Language English

Our Brave New World Sessions Zondag 30 september 13:00–17:00 uur Sunday September 30 13:00–17:00h
Hebben wij nog wel controle over de technologieën die wij ontwikkelen? De manieren waarop wij onze verhalen vertellen, veranderen: van urban en mobile tot immersive, augmented en interactief. In deze Brave New World Sessions wordt gekeken hoe ze van elkaar verschillen en ook wat hun invloed is op onze wereld. Deze middag vol inspiratie en nieuwe verhalen wordt afgetrapt door moderator Dan Hassler-Forest, onderzoeker, schrijver en universitair docent aan de UU, met een gesproken column over utopisch denken als kritisch potentieel van kunst en media. Vervolgens zal aan de hand van een aantal panels en presentaties een breed spectrum van inspirerende verhalen langskomen over The Future of the Screen, The Real and the Virtual of VR, de Interactive Expo en PublicSpaces.
Are we still in control of the technologies we develop? More and more of these technologies change the way we tell our stories. From urban and mobile to immersive, augmented and interactive. In these Brave New World Sessions, we look at how they are different, but also at how they influence our world. This afternoon full of inspiration and new stories is kicked off by moderator Dan Hassler-Forest, researcher, writer and assistant professor at UU, with a spoken column on utopian thinking as a critical potential of art and media. Next, several panels and presentations will offer a broad range of inspiring stories about The Future of the Screen, The Real and the Virtual of VR, the Interactive Expo and PublicSpaces.

The Real and the Virtual of VR De kracht van Virtual Reality is dat het de mogelijkheid biedt kunstmatige werkelijkheden als echt te ervaren: tijd en ruimte tot gecontroleerde werkelijkheid gekneed. Vesna Petresin heeft met haar performancewerk binnen dit medium een sterke eigen handtekening en verkent het in diverse contexten. Petresin is transdisciplinaire kunstenaar en onderzoeker, en is verbonden aan de Master Film aan de Nederlandse Film Academie.

Seminar animatie: Co-produceren met China Seminar Animation: Co-producing With China Maandag 1 oktober 14:30–17:00 uur Monday October 1 14:30–17:00h
China is inmiddels qua koopkracht een van de belangrijkste economieën ter wereld. Hoe kunnen buitenlandse filmmakers en producenten hun kansen beproeven in de Chinese animatieindustrie? Twee specialisten, de producenten Manuel Cristòbal (Spanje) en Becky Bristow (USA), geven een unieke kijk in de keuken. Naast het produceren van animatie hebben beiden veel ervaring op het gebied van educatie; zo zijn ze betrokken bij The California Institute of the Arts en de U-TAD University in Madrid, en tevens bij de Beijing University Digital Arts & Design en Jilin Animation Center. Door deze dubbelrol zijn ze de uitgelezen sprekers om te vertellen over de invloed van de staat, de verschillen met het Westen en onderwerpen als financiering, communicatie en natuurlijk educatie. Bristow werkte voor o.a. Mattel Toys, Nickelodeon, Walt Disney Studios en voor de grote Chinese animatiespeler Xing Xing Digital. Cristòbal, in 2012 door CARTOON uitgeroepen tot de beste Europese animatieproducent, werkt momenteel met Submarine aan een animatie over Buñuel. Producent Leontine Petit, chairman van Bridging the Dragon, de organisatie die Europese en Chinese filmprofessionals met elkaar verbindt, geeft een korte presentatie over de huidige Europese-Chinese samenwerking op het gebied van film.
By now, China is one of the leading economies in the world as far as consumer buying power goes. But how can foreign filmmakers and producers try their luck in the Chinese animation industry? Two ‘handson’ experts and specialists, the producers Manuel Cristòbal (Spain) and Becky Bristow (USA), offer a unique glimpse behind the scenes. Besides being animation producers, both speakers are well-versed in the field of education; for example, they are involved in The California Institute of the Arts and the U-TAD University in Madrid but also in Beijing University Digital Arts & Designand Jilin Animation Center. With this dual role, they are the ideal speakers to dwell on the influence of the state, the differences with the West and topics including financing, communication and natural education. Cristòbal will tackle the cooperation with China from a European perspective. Bristow worked for Mattel Toys, Nickelodeon and the Walt Disney Studios, but also for the major Chinese animation player Xing Xing Digital. In 2012, CARTOON proclaimed Cristòbal the best animation producer in Europe. Currently, he is working on an animation about Buñuel with Submarine and he set up the Chinese animation project Dragonkeeper. Producer Leontine Petit, chairman of Bridging the Dragon, an association connecting European and Chinese film professionals, will give a short presentation on the current European-Chinese cooperation in the field of film.

Aan de hand van zijn storyboards en fragmenten van de uiteindelijke producties, neemt hij ons mee in zijn boeiende wereld.

Zo illustreerde hij als comic artist voor zowel DC Comics als die andere zwaargewicht, Marvel Comics. Zijn werk liep uiteen van onder andere Batman en Judge Dredd tot aan Hellblazer. Sinds 2000 is Simpson ook actief in de filmwereld. Hij maakte storyboards voor films als het post-apocalyptische Reign of Fire met Matthew McConaughey en Christian Bale, het Liam Neeson-vehikel Unknown én werkte daarnaast veelvuldig samen met de Ierse auteur en Oscarwinnaar Neil Jordan. Zijn ster rees pas echt sinds zijn bijdrage aan Game of Thrones.

NFF Extended NFF Extended is het platform, jaarrond, voor de Nederlandse filmsector bedoeld om collega’s in de sector te verbinden, informeren én te inspireren. NFF Extended organiseert door het hele jaar diverse bijeenkomsten over relevante, actuele en urgente onderwerpen. De vorm waarin en de locatie waar deze bijeenkomsten gehouden worden, zijn afhankelijk van de inhoud en het doel van de betreffende bijeenkomst. NFF Extended wordt door het Nederlands Film Festival georganiseerd in het kader van de versterking van de arbeidsmarktpositie van filmprofessionals, in samenwerking met EYE Filmmuseum en in overleg met diverse (branche)organisaties. Kijk voor nieuwe bijeenkomsten en meer informatie op: filmfestival.nl/extended
Academy De nominaties en winnaars voor de Gouden Kalveren in de categorieën speelfilm en lange documentaire worden bepaald door middel van het Academy-model, ingevoerd in 2015. Net zoals bij onder meer de Oscars, de BAFTA’s, de Césars en de Lola’s kiest een grote groep filmprofessionals de winnaars van de grote Nederlandse filmprijzen. Het doel is de betrokkenheid van makers bij de filmsector te vergroten en hen een stem te geven als het gaat om het erkennen van talent. Voor het uitreiken van de Grote Prijzen van de Nederlandse Film, de Gouden Kalveren, werkt het NFF samen met de Dutch Academy For Film (DAFF). Stemgerechtigd zijn leden van de DAFF, Gouden Kalfwinnaars en Nederlandse winnaars van A-festivals.
