Director wanted - participation in "The Meeting"

For a short film project, I am looking for a director to participate with in “De Ontmoeting”. The screenplay I wrote is, in short, about grief and how suffocating it can be if you don't give yourself the space to truly feel it. It's become an intimate and oppressive script that demands a director with a sense of nuance and depth. Are you interested in collaborating on this project and submitting it to "De Ontmoeting"? The application deadline is November 9, 2025.

Film Academy and ROE Visual invest in the future

The Netherlands Film Academy and ROE Visual are intensifying their collaboration following the successful partnership in 2023 with the graduation film A Taste of Friendship, in which Film Academy students used an advanced LED screen for the first time. This autumn, the Film Academy will receive a permanent virtual production installation that will allow students to practice with this innovative film technology directly within the walls of the academy. The investment in an LED volume constructed from ROE Visual's Ruby RB2.6 LED panels with Megapixel LED processing enables students to work with the latest techniques in virtual production. This groundbreaking technique, used in The Mandalorian (2019) and recently in series such as Fallout (2024), Disclaimer (2024), and Masters of the Sky (2024), makes it possible to seamlessly and in real-time integrate virtual worlds into the camera perspective. Technology as a learning tool With this permanent installation, students can gain hands-on experience with virtual production throughout their entire education, a unique opportunity within Europe. The LED screen will become an active part of the curriculum and is linked to a growing European network of film schools within which ROE Visual promotes knowledge sharing. Marijn Eken, Lecturer in Visual Effects at the Netherlands Film Academy: With the arrival of the LED screen, our students can be introduced from their first year to a technique that is becoming increasingly important in the global film industry. They have the opportunity to experiment with this industry-standard technology and master it, so that they can immediately put it to use in practice. We look forward to seeing the innovative and creative ways in which our students utilize this technology. Olaf Sperwer, Director Virtual Production/XR/Broadcast EMEA at ROE Visual, adds: There is currently a great need for well-trained professionals within the world of virtual production. That is precisely why it is of enormous value to collaborate with an academy that not only recognizes the importance of technological development but also actively invests in it. By allowing students to work with this technology during their studies, we build an important bridge between education and professional practice. In doing so, the Netherlands Film Academy demonstrates vision; it is investing in the future of storytelling. We are proud of this collaboration and look forward to the stories that will emerge from it. Additionally, it is of course wonderful to be able to support our national film industry in this way. The installation of the LED screen is scheduled for the end of September 2025. Students are already starting to experiment and test this semester. The ultimate goal is to give this technology a permanent place in future student productions.
