The Dutch touch

Inspired by the interviews and research they conducted for their book 'Van Abeltje tot Zoop', about the history and success of Dutch children's films, film producer Sabine Veenendaal and film marketeer Esther Schmidt have written an additional booklet on the subject for the international film audience. Entitled 'The Dutch Touch; Vision and passion for children's films in the Netherlands', the booklet is co-produced by EYE Film Institute Netherlands and was launched at the Berlinale 2012. As well as comprising a comprehensive listing of all Dutch children's films from 1989 onwards, the booklet contains a short overview of the sector with emphasis placed on the ground-breaking films and the key filmmakers over this period.
