Rogier Kramer - Labyrint Film - wins CFAP Prize 2024 | Special Jury Prize for New Producers Academy

Producer Rogier Kramer wins the 2024 CFAP Prize worth €25,000. He was selected from a shortlist of 10 excellent producers nominated by colleagues from the audiovisual sector. The special jury prize worth €10,000 was awarded to the New Producers Academy, a training platform for emerging producers with diverse backgrounds in Rotterdam.

The Cultural Fund for Audiovisual Producers (CFAP) presented the CFAP Prize for the fifth time this year as a tribute to a Dutch audiovisual producer who distinguishes themselves in their field. With 180 nominations, over 40 film and television producers were nominated by colleagues in the sector for this prize worth €25,000. From these, the jury compiled a shortlist of 10 producers, which received nearly 500 votes over a period of two weeks. Based on all recommendations and motivations, the jury awarded the 2024 CFAP Prize to producer Rogier Kramer of Labyrint Film, partly due to the pioneering role he wholeheartedly embraces for 'queer cinema' and the impression he manages to make on filmmakers and audiences.

At this anniversary, a special jury prize of €10,000 was awarded to an outstanding audiovisual project. More than 25 projects were nominated by colleagues in the audiovisual sector. The jury selected New Producers Academy. This Rotterdam-based initiative was launched in 2021 by filmmaker Loretta van der Horst, producer Claudio Montesano Casillas, and Yassin Karmoudi. It offers intensive coaching to emerging producers from underrepresented communities who wish to realize unique, untold stories from new perspectives. In a short time, the New Producers Academy has grown into a successful platform with strong partners such as Netflix.

The 2024 CFAP jury consists of Edwin van der Veen (ITV Studios, Chairman SEKAM Video), Corine Meijers (Studio Biarritz, Board Member of the Dutch Audiovisual Producers Alliance - NAPA), and Michel Nilissen (IDtv, Member of the Dutch Content Producers – NCP). The winners of the 2024 CFAP Prize and Special Jury Prize may spend the monetary awards on a project or professional development of their own choosing.
