About Inclusive Film Foundation
The Inclusive Film Foundation is an ANBI stichting in oprichting and wants to stimulate diversity and inclusivity through film and TV, and within productions, by financially supporting, advising and monitoring productions when it comes to their diversity and inclusivity policies and the execution of such.
The productions and projects that we support:
We are closely linked to Break Free Films, the production company that realises most of our projects at the moment. We aspire to expand our funding to other projects who also produce impactful content in the film industry and who assure inclusion in every stage of production: from script to screen and beyond. We also wish to invest in projects that are about talent development, for example a the creation of a talent hub for actors/filmmakers in The Netherlands. Check out our projects
Do you have a project for us or any questions?
