Yay: in one week time five of our applications have been approved! Congratulations Catherine van Campen, Nelleke Koop, Oeke Hoogendijk, Els van Driel and Olivier Garcia.

It was the perfect day for scouting locations for the dance film Vlucht (Flight) by director Wiam Al-Zabari and choreographer Krisztina de Châtel that we produce for the new initiative ‘De Wolf Danst’.

A part of the crew went back to Jordan to show the film Zaatari Djinn to the stars of the documentary; the four children Ferras, Hammoudi, Maryam and Fatma. They -fortunately- loved it and were so proud!

We start this year with some great news: My Father’s Choice by Yan Ting Yuen is selected for the International Film Festival Rotterdam and will have its world premiere the 29th of January!
