Board
FilmForward uses a model with a foundation board and a management board. The current board took office in 2023 and is formed by:
- Laurette Schillings – chairman of producer Topkapi Films, founder of Film For Future, board member of the Dutch Film Festival
- Jie-Ming Chung – treasurer co-founder Terra Media, board member Pan Asian Collective
- Ido Abram – secretary of former director of SEE NL, former deputy director of Eye Film Museum, board member of GROM, supervisory board of Cinema De Vlugt, board member of ACE Producers
- Gwen Maduro – member co-founder Solid Base Management, board member GROM.
The composition of the board guarantees diversity, it has broad expertise in the cultural field and a strong affinity with the film and AV sector. A fifth board member will be appointed in 2024 to further broaden the board in terms of background, knowledge and expertise. A phased schedule of resignation will also be drawn up to guarantee administrative continuity, with a maximum term of office of four years with the possibility of extension for a further four years. When appointing new board members, we take the Culture Governance Code and the Diversity & Inclusion Code into account. The board meets at least four times a year and meets with the director on the basis of a fixed agenda, with policy, personnel and organization, finance and risk management as fixed points.
