Vision
Our dream for the future for the Dutch film and AV sector: Dutch films, series and other audiovisual productions appeal to a broad Dutch audience and are seen, praised and purchased internationally.
The sector and the stories that are told are a reflection of our society. All links in the production, distribution and exploitation chain are connected and forged into a chain. The excellent productions have a competitive international position; they are celebrated nationally and internationally. The sector is a forerunner when it comes to experimenting with and implementing new technological and sustainable developments. There is a healthy flow of talent through training and a steady influx of self-taught people.
People from diverse cultural and social backgrounds within and outside the Randstad find their way within the sector in an organic way, without barriers of gender, color, background or disability. The foundation is formed by well-trained professionals in artistic, technical and production terms, who can excel in all disciplines.
