ANIMA TION NL
The tide is on the rise for animation in all formats and lengths, all shapes and sizes, and the Dutch industry is riding a productivity wave in terms of diversity, quality, and quantity. Animation is flourishing, increasingly surrounding us in our day-to-day lives, from commercials on television to series on VOD, online motion graphics, branded experiences in the public domain, and animated stickers on our mobile devices. In the Netherlands, professionals and audiences alike are embracing animated features with rising cinema visits, while also getting more and more immersed in AR/VR/XR and gaming. Cristal, Emmy, Annie, and Academy awards are shining bright in the national trophy cabinet, and, looking at just the animated feature industry, more than 30 projects are currently in the pipeline. Funding support, with a cash rebate of up to 35% for features and 30% for high-end series, has stimulated this growth significantly. While small in size, the Netherlands has always had an outsized impact on the world when it comes to art. With its international attitude, passion for efficiency, and bold creativity, the Netherlands is the place to turn to for international collaborations.
INDUSTRY GUIDE In this Industry Guide you’ll find 150+ Dutch contacts: relevant producers, service companies, distributors, and other purveyors of all things animated. Right here in your hands you have everything you need to know to start cooperating with the Netherlands. Join the Dutch wave!
ANIMATION NL
VISUALLY BOLD
Dutch professionals are bold and brave in their artistry. Their coloring outside the lines has historically led them to international heights, just look at Dutch painting (Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Mondriaan) and Dutch design (Rem Koolhaas, Droog Design, Dick Bruna’s Miffy) – and it shines through brightly in today’s animated works. Dutch animation can be rich and full of details like the expressive hand-painted backgrounds for Amazon’s adult drama series Undone, Rosto’s uncanny mixed-media
Father and Daughter
George and Paul
Undone
Horizon Zero Dawn
universe that birthed movies like Monster of Nix or the fresh take on post-apocalyptic landscapes in the game Horizon Zero Dawn. But it can also be simple and pared down to the essentials like the minimalist stop-motion world of the George and Paul series, the elegant lines of the Oscarwinning Father and Daughter, or the social-media series Kinda Awkward, sharing embarrassing anecdotes sent in by the audience.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Dutch professionals want their work to matter. They address complex social and emotional subjects with appealing conceptualizations and nuanced stories, without ever becoming sentimental or preachy. The cross-media Good Enough, for instance, deals with burnout, while the mid-length film Mind My Mind empowers young people with autism and the feature The Wondrous Journey of Little Sophie tells the story of a terminally ill 9-year-old girl and her imaginary journey through life.
Mind My Mind
Good Enough
Heads Together
The Dutch are not afraid to engage with these difficult themes while still remaining lighthearted: the Heads Together series, discusses diversity in our society with a heavy dose of absurdity, and the interactive table Tovertafel is designed to engage people with dementia in a playful way. The Dutch simply love to tell compelling stories for audiences of any age and are not afraid to do so through animation.

LOOKING AHEAD
Dutch professionals are frontrunners in innovation. They’re always seeking out new developments in the field and are versatile in transand cross-medial storytelling. The online project The Modular Body, dealing with the fabrication of a human body, illustrates this perfectly. Arranged by an algorithm, this series of dystopian videos tells the story of OSCAR, a living body made out of interchangeable parts. The psychoactive VR experience DEEP, controlled by the player’s breathing, is another example of innovative interactivity, just like Emmy-winning documentary The Last Hijack, a true tale of survival in Somalia told from both a pirate’s perspective and that of a hijacked captain.

DEEP
Agent 327
Besides artistic innovation, the Dutch are also at the forefront of technological innovation, for instance with the open-source 3D software Blender, which was honored with a prize for technical achievement at the Los Angeles Annies. Blender is now producing their first feature film Agent 327 with their software. Innovation can also be found in business models as the YouTube channel My Magic Pet Morphle with 4.5 million subscribers shows. Never bound to existing rules and conventions, Dutch projects remain fresh and innovative – not a melting pot in which all the different ingredients just blend into one, but a nice salad made up of distinct delicacies delivering outspoken flavors.

OPEN ATTITTUDE
Dutch professionals are natural collaborators. Historically, the country’s communication has been characterized by openness, candor, and flexibility. Their goal-oriented mentality makes it easy and efficient to work with the Dutch. Excellent examples of this can be found in international collaborations like the puppet and set creation for Norwegian feature In the Forest of Huckybucky, which was done in the Netherlands and then sent to Norway as a Âone-of-a-kind construction kit.
Where is Anne Frank?
Ainbo
Dr. Panda
There are many such global-minded projects: the creative development and direction on Chinese series Dr. Panda, the epic artistic short A Report of Connected Events commissioned on behalf of Liberty Global, the 3D animation on Peruvian feature Ainbo, or the 2D animation on Ari Folman’s feature Where is Anne Frank?

SOLID INFRASTRUCTURE
The Netherlands has a number of national organizations committed to supporting and promoting the country’s animation industry. Key to this strong support system are the Netherlands Film Fund, Creative Industries Fund NL, the EYE Film museum and EYE International, and Animation producers Netherlands.
Netherlands Film Fund www.filmfund.nl The Netherlands Film Fund grants support to animated shorts, features, and high-end TV-series, many of which are international co-productions. As the national agency supporting film production in the Netherlands, the Film Fund offers various selective support schemes and also handles the Film Production Incentive, offering a cash rebate of up to 35% on production costs spent on parties that are subject to Dutch taxation. Over 300 productions, including animated projects, have been supported by the cash rebate since its start in 2014. The Netherlands Film commission is the national liaison between the Dutch creative media industries, foreign producers and production companies.
Creative Industries Fund NL www.stimuleringsfonds.nl The Creative Industries Fund NL supports exceptional and innovative animation and digital-culture projects, striving to make a substantial contribution to the quality of professional animation practice in the Netherlands. The Fund has a special interest in the interdisciplinary interplay between the cultural and social domains.
EYE & EYE International www.eyefilm.nl & www.international.eyefilm.nl EYE is the national film museum of The Netherlands, a theatre and the largest archive of films and film related materials. Its main venue is an iconic futuristic building on the banks of the IJ river in Amsterdam. EYE assists film professionals with a wide range of services and products. Programmers, academics, filmmakers, and film restorers can turn to EYE for research, the rental of prints, and expertise in the field of promotion. EYE distributes classic and experimental films, develops educational programs, maintains a film library and is the venue of many vibrant festivals. EYE International is responsible for the international marketing and promotion of Dutch films. They are involved in the life of a Dutch film abroad at every stage, and provide the international film circuit with information on current activities within the Dutch film industry.
Animation producers Netherlands (ApN) www.animatieproducenten.nl Animation Producers Nederland (ApN) champions the interests of animation producers – specifically those that focus on short, medium-length, and feature animation films and television series in all imaginable genres. These interests consist of improving opportunities for producing and distributing animation in the Netherlands, especially with regard to better funding, knowledge, experience, and the development of an international network, both for individual producers and for the Dutch industry.
The bridge to our audiences The Dutch television landscape is made up of a substantial public broadcasting system and several commercial parties. The public broadcasting system is composed of a set of organizations that collectively takes care of public service television and radio broadcasting in the Netherlands with the NPO as the governing body. Unlike most other countries, where public broadcasting organizations are national or regional governmental organizations, in the Netherlands they are, although publically funded, member-based associations, each with their own target groups. With a wide network of art houses, theatre chains, and multiple international festivals, animation finds its way to Dutch audiences throughout our densely populated country. Our adult audiences are also discovering the art of animation at cinemas more and more. And films like The Red Turtle, Loving Vincent, and Louise en Hiver drew substantial crowds. The Netherlands is also home to some of most influential film festivals in the world, like International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) and International Documentary Filmfestival Amsterdam (IDFA). There is special love for animation at the recently merged Holland Animation Film Festival (HAFF) and KLIK Amsterdam Animation Festival, as well as at the Playgrounds Festival & Conference. The Go Short festival for short films equally divides its attention between animation and live action. Education Animation is taught at BA and MA level at Art Academies called HBO and at mid-level vocational schools called MBO. These schools are located in several Dutch towns and cities throughout the Netherlands.
Mischa Rozema, director and co-founder PostPanic. “The Dutch have an incredible record on art education, it’s not just for the happy few. Everyone can potentially have a go at trying to be an artist. Historically this created a healthy environment for design, animation, photography, film etc. to flourish.“ Wilbert Plijnaar, 25 year veteran story artist for many Hollywood blockbuster animation features like the Ice Age movies, Disney’s Princess and the Frog, Despicable Me 1 and 2, Minion Movie and The Grinch amongst others. “Since Dutch animation education traditionally has never focused on catering to the ‘Industry’ but on free expression instead, its “greatest common divisor” is “individualism “ leading to a cornucopia of creative approaches and styles. Studio’s like Ka-ching, Submarine and directors like Hisko Hulsing are some prime examples of taking fresh creative approaches that are proven to be successful. There are many others waiting to be discovered.”
Michael Dudok de Wit, director of The Red Turtle and Father and Daughter. “Dutch people, while celebrating the notion of a cosy and friendly home, have a distinct openness and curiosity towards other cultures and civilisations. This curiosity excited me greatly when I grew up and as a consequence I have enjoyed a semi-nomadic life style over the last forty years.”
Martha Colburn, American born filmmaker artist, whose work has been presented in major musea around the world. “The Netherlands instantly appealed to me as a business base and artistic place for creating when I moved here almost two decades ago. I find the atmosphere to be progressive and encouraging - with a healthy balance of support and critical feedback. The artistic climate in the Netherlands is grounded in a really strong support for upcoming and established talent - while at the same moment encouraging innovation in the arts, culture and beyond…”
Nienke Deutz, director of Bloeistraat 11, winner of the Annecy Cristal. “Despite working abroad a lot, my roots are in the Netherlands, and of course this is reflected in my work: approaching topics with a down-to-earth gaze, loads of enthusiasm, and a love for formal simplicity.”
Hisko Hulsing, director of Junkyard and Undone. “The Netherlands provides an environment where projects with adult subject matter and artistic ambition can thrive. It’s probably the reason why producers from Los Angeles reach out to me when they are looking for a different animation style and feel than those of the rather one-sided family entertainment being made by American studios. The painting techniques we use are classical and have more in common with the Dutch masters of the 17th century than with styles associated with cartoons.“
Bouwine Pool, co-director of HIT entertainment series The Wellie Wishers. “Communication in the Netherlands is straightforward, honest, and based on equality.”
Mischa Rozema, director and co-founder PostPanic. “Our country’s size creates a very open and outwardfacing mentality, making it easy to collaborate internationally. As an artist I’m outward-facing too, my influences are not limited to the Netherlands they are truly international so are my idea’s.”
Wouter Tulp, character designer for Sony, Paramount, etc. “[As an artist,] I quickly adapt to different types of work... My broad approach to art, and my versatility, originate in me being Dutch.”
Vincent Lammers, Creative director & Partner of Ambassadors, a high profile commercial studio. “For such a small country we have a rich history in pushing art and business forward, and I think the unique cultural mix of creativity and practicality driving it is still there today. Dutch artists are some of the most down-toearth people I know. There’s this naturally ingrained idea that you just have to put in the hard work to create something to be truly proud of - and it shows.”
Martha Colburn, American born filmmaker artist, whose work has been presented in major musea around the world. ”The Netherlands is an ideal and widely chosen country for international artists from all over the world to collaborate - in part due to it’s organized infrastructure of funding and production/ distribution - but also it’s friendly openness and progressive views.”
