Why this Matters to You
This investment may lead to a greater variety of films and series being produced in Flanders, potentially increasing the number of local productions you can watch. The funding could support jobs and economic activity in the region's creative sector. If you are interested in international cinema, the co-production structure of many projects may bring stories from Flanders to a wider audience.
What's Next
The 15 projects are now moving forward with production. The government of Flanders, through Screen Flanders, offers Belgian (co-)producers reimbursable advances of up to €400,000 for audiovisual expenditure in the region, which suggests further funding rounds may be possible. The supported projects, including feature films, drama series, and animated works, are likely to be released over the coming years.
