3 Financing funding National production

Film producers obtain subsidies for different stages in the production process (see: Chart 2) from the Film fund (directly Ministry of OCW Ministry of Finance financed by OCW, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science), the CoBO fund (financed by the public broadcasters; aimed at tv) and STIFO (StimuleringsFonds, financed by the public broadcasters; cultural objectives tv and radio). In 2006 Film Fund including investors could be found via FINE BV (consulting agency for Public Broadcasters supplementary regulations special tax regulations, founded by the government) and in the investors market. In the EU context, special conditions have to be met in order to obtain European subsidy at Eurimages CoBO and the Media Plus programs. As of June 21st 2007 entries for Distributors the new Supplementary Regulations for films with two-thirds funding can be made. Producers with 65% of their production STIFO financing in place can apply for the final third of their film’s Film producer budget. 25% of total financing must be from private investors. The budget is yearly 13 million euros. Commercial Broadcasters Investors
