was supplied by the producers.<br />
It is our pleasure once again to play host to some 200 European film<br />
professionals in the beautiful city of Utrecht. This year, not only is<br />
there a new programme and new co-production projects, but also<br />
a brand new team. Our thanks go to former Holland <strong>Film</strong> Meeting<br />
head Ellis Driessen for the great job she did for the past 12 years: we<br />
will do our best to stay true to her spirit.<br />
The aim of the Holland <strong>Film</strong> Meeting and the <strong>Production</strong> <strong>Platform</strong><br />
has been and will always be to provide a meeting place for film professionals<br />
from the <strong>Netherlands</strong> and abroad.<br />
This year’s programme opens with a seminar on 22 September<br />
where the focus is on innovation and new trends in Scandinavian film<br />
production, and we are especially grateful to the various Scandinavian<br />
film institutes for supporting this day. Alongside the panel<br />
discussions on Scandinavia, we will also be examining the practical<br />
aspects of co-producing via a case study of the Dutch-Danish<br />
production Code Blue. Directed by Urszula Antoniak, the film was<br />
selected for Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes, and was produced by<br />
Family Affair <strong>Film</strong>s and IDTV <strong>Film</strong> in the <strong>Netherlands</strong> and Zentropa<br />
in Denmark.<br />
In this year’s NPP selection, which is presented in this <strong>dossier</strong>, you<br />
will find 20 projects from nine countries. For the Scandinavian selection,<br />
we worked closely with our colleagues at New Nordic <strong>Film</strong>s,<br />
the Scandinavian co-production market in Haugesund, Norway.<br />
We hope that you will find the projects every bit as funny, touching,<br />
relevant, engaging and worthwhile as we do.<br />
Last but not least, we would like to express our gratitude for the<br />
support given by our partners who make the Holland <strong>Film</strong> Meeting<br />
and the <strong>Netherlands</strong> <strong>Production</strong> <strong>Platform</strong> possible.<br />
We wish you a rewarding and enjoyable stay in Utrecht.<br />
With best regards,<br />
Signe Zeilich-Jensen<br />
