Cinema of the Netherlands Filmmaking industry in Netherlands

Cinema of the Netherlands refers to the film industry based in the Netherlands. Because the Dutch film industry is relatively small, and there is little or no international market for Dutch films, almost all films rely on state funding. This funding can be achieved through several sources, for instance through the Netherlands Film Fund or the public broadcast networks. In recent years the Dutch Government has established several tax shelters for private investments in Dutch films.

Rob Houwer Dutch film producer

Robert Piet Houwer is a Dutch film producer. Houwer frequently collaborated with Paul Verhoeven and produced most of his Dutch films. Turkish Delight (1973), after the book by Jan Wolkers, became the most frequently visited film in Dutch cinema and still holds that place today. However, Houwer and Verhoeven shared a very antagonistic relationship that came to a definitive end in 1983. Houwer's later films did not enjoy the same artistic and commercial successes he had in his early career. In fact, three films which he produced are considered among the worst in Dutch cinema: De gulle Minnaar (1990), De Zeemeerman (1996) and Het woeden der gehele wereld (2006). He was appointed the Order of Orange-Nassau.
