Guest country: The Netherlands

In 2019 the Netherlands celebrated 100 years of Dutch animation, a nice moment to look back on a century of creativity, and evaluate where we are now as an industry. From the very beginning, Dutch animators have collaborated with colleagues abroad, like producers, distributors and other animators. Also, there has been an increasing number of international feature co-productions in recent years.

This raises the questions: what do we mean exactly when we talk about Dutch animation? And what is the influence of Dutch animation on the rest of the world? Let’s watch it!
