Welcome to the Heart of Benelux Cinema

Driven by SEE NL, Flanders Image, Wallonie Bruxelles Images, Film Fund Luxembourg, Netherlands Film Fund, Centre du Cinéma et de l’Audiovisuel and Flanders Audiovisual Fund (VAF). We champion the international promotion of films from Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.


We connect filmmakers with festivals, markets, and global audiences — bringing the best of Benelux storytelling to the world.

Belgium (Flanders and Wallonia), Luxembourg and the Netherlands represent a strong region with a high-quality film infrastructure. The countries are connected by shared cultural narratives, which reflect the rich diversity of the Benelux region.

The Benelux collaboration will create a strong unity and joint growth where individual success of talented filmmakers can flourish even more.

The Benelux partners aim to become a recognizable, trustworthy brand representing high-quality films & talent.

We share geographic proximity, cultural ties, and similar market sizes, which make collaboration particularly fruitful. By joining hands we can position ourselves as a strong region with a high-quality film infrastructure and talented film makers.
