Green Filmmaking Competition winners announced

After intensive deliberation by a jury consisting of leading extras from the Dutch film industry and renowned sustainability experts earlier this week, the finalists of the Green Film Making Competition were announced today. The 'green battle' officially kicks off on Monday, November 21. AND THE FINALISTS ARE: Wouter van Couwelaar | NFI productions Mark Ram | Studio ACT2ACT Titia Rieter | Armadillo Film Annielle Webster | NFI productions Gabriel Bauer | Blue Dolphin Entertainment Group Sabine Smits | Flinck Film GREEN FILM MAKING WORKSHOPS During the seminar on June 30, filmmakers were connected with various sustainable entrepreneurs to gain an understanding of sustainability and its significance for the film industry. In August, the Netherlands Film Fund announced its support for the initiative, providing a starting grant of €10,000 for the six winning film projects. Of the 62 submissions, 37 participants were given the opportunity to take part in the three-day workshops. The three-day workshops offered participants practical tools for sustainable film production. Additionally, experts in green filmmaking from London and Hollywood shared their experiences there. GREEN FILM GALA The six finalists have been announced and will set to work on their films starting this coming November 21st. In addition to the film's content, the filmmakers will pay close attention to the behind-the-scenes process, aiming for the most sustainable production possible. The goal of the competition is to mobilize the entire Dutch film industry to operate more sustainably. The filmmakers will give us a glimpse behind the scenes along the way and, where necessary, involve the audience in overcoming obstacles and making choices. In three co-creation sessions, spread over five months, the participants will come together and present their working methods to the jury. In early June 2012, the participants will have the opportunity to present their findings and solutions to the jury in a creative manner, after which the jury will announce the winner during the first Green Film Gala in the Netherlands. BACKGROUND COMPETITION On June 2, 2011, Strawberry Earth, in collaboration with the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation, launched the world's first edition of the Green Film Making Competition, in which the organization called upon film producers and filmmakers to submit a plan and compete for the prize of €20,000 for high-quality film produced as sustainably as possible.

NBF network drink 28 Nov: Film online: royalty-free?

The Film and TV Network Drinks (NBF) has been revamped! In addition to the well-known formula of networking, drinks, and the dinner deal, a panel discussion on a current theme will also be held. On the evening of Monday, November 28, the theme 'Film online: royalty-free or not?' will take center stage. Program At the previous edition of the NBF networking drinks, the panelists extensively discussed the internet as an essential platform for visual material. The internet indeed offers creators unlimited possibilities, provided they are creative enough and know how to seize opportunities. However, there is another side to this 'walhalla' that professionals have to deal with: the rights and risks associated with visual material posted online. How are copyrights regulated on the internet, is it possible to protect them, and is this even desirable? At this NBF networking drinks, this topical issue will be discussed with the panelists, and a short presentation will be given on the many possibilities the internet offers and how you, as a film or TV maker, can take advantage of them, including practical tips and tricks. Panel members: Wendy Bernfeld - Rights Stuff (more information) Jetse Sprey - VWS Lawyers (more information) This list is still being updated, so keep an eye on www.nbf.nl!
