The introduction of a Frisian Film Fund aims to enhance the production of films in Friesland, making it the second regional film fund in the Netherlands, following Limburg. Joris Hoebe from New Nordic Wave advocates for this initiative, citing a growing desire among filmmakers for more localized stories. The fund, backed by an 18 million euro commitment from the Ministry of the Interior, will support the creation of short films that highlight the Frisian language and culture. Annual funding is projected between 300,000 and 500,000 euros, with hopes for future increases to support broader goals.
