The Netherlands Film Production Incentive has announced its support for nine new projects, selected at the fourth (and last) round of 2016. These nine projects include seven fictional features, a documentary and an animated film. The support totals over €2.3 million, and is expected to generate more than €10.5 million in production expenditure in the Netherlands.
The seven feature projects are Doris de Film by Albert Jan van Rees (production: Talpa Fictie), Gek van Verlangen by Johan Nijenhuis (Johan Nijenhuis & Co), Frans Weisz’s Het Leven is vurrukkulluk (Sigma Pictures Productions), Hans Somers’ Klassenfeest (Johan Nijenhuis & Co), Michiel van Erp’s Niemand in de Stad (De Familie), Stijn Coninx’s Don't Shoot [+see also:

The Netherlands Film Production Incentive scheme was set up in May 2014, and is based on a cash-rebate system. Producers of fictional feature films, animated features and feature-length documentaries can claim up to 30% of eligible production costs in rebates. A total of 63 projects have been backed in 2016, including Dunkirk (Bodega Bay) by British director Christopher Nolan (Dutch co-producer: Kaap Holland Film), which was granted the highest possible cash rebate of €1 million.
