Dive into the world of international co-production, co-development, and co-promotion for feature films and documentaries in the cross-border region of the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Luxembourg at the Crossborder Film Conference 2024.

Crossborder Film Conference 2024 

We invite you to the Crossborder Film Conference 2024 to hear all about international co-production in our region: The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg. The Crossborder Film Conference offers a platform to expand your horizons, forge valuable connections, and gain insights that can transform your approach to co-producing feature film projects. Together we can break down borders and celebrate the universal language of cinema.

Moderator Dorien van de Pas will welcome for case-studies, panels and talks leading experts from the industry such as Matthijs Wouter Knol (European Film Academy), Bart van Langendonck (Savage Film), Ellen Havenith (PRPL), Fleur Winters (Big Blue), Yort Jansen (Flanders Image), Bettina Brokemper (Heimatfilm) and Florian Heinzen-Ziob (Fontane Film Production). The Conference is co-hosted by the Creative Europe Desks in the Netherlands, North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany), Belgium & Luxembourg. The Desks will be present during the Conference and you can meet them during the FilMatch.

Interested filmmakers and producers can also sign up for the Crossborder Film Pitch (and compete for a development grant of €2.500) and FilMatch (a speeddate matchmaking session) during the Conference.
