Presenting our brand new Netherlands Pavilion: Holland Lounge @MIPCOM

On October 17 th , the media scene returns to Cannes for the biggest content market of the year, MIPCOM. After two difficult years where physical meetings were nearly impossible, we decided this upcoming market is the perfect time to organize an initiative that focuses on networking, cooperation and creating new chances. We are proud to present our brand new Netherlands Pavilion at MIPCOM: the Holland Lounge! The Holland Lounge is located in Palais des Festivals at P-1 G51.

  Together with DFW International, Incredible Film and VPRO, we'll be hosting a meeting place to shake hands, share a coffee and introduce you to our latest selection of amazing Dutch and Flemish programs. Danielle Raaphorst, Managing Director of Incredible Film, is excited to be part of the Holland Lounge at this year’s MIPCOM: “I see joining forces at the Netherlands Pavilion as an excellent opportunity to show the industry the Dutch content which we are representing and which we are so proud of.” Charlotte Henskens, Director of International Sales at DFW International adds:
“The Netherlands is just a small country, but has high standards when it comes to producing films
and series. So I think we can only grow bigger, individually and as a whole, by teaming up at
MIPCOM.” Helena Jensch, International Business Developer at VPRO, is also enthusiastic about their
partnership in the Holland Lounge: “We already have a long-standing relationship with Dutch CORE,
and particularly this year is the perfect timing for us to take part in this initiative as we have been
given the opportunity to represent our latest VPRO formats in collaboration with Dutch CORE.” More
