Keyfilm

KeyFilm was founded by Hanneke Niens (former co-founder and producer of IDTV Film) and Hans de Wolf (former producer and head of development of Egmond Film). Together they have produced and co-produced more than 40 films. They have won prestigious national- and international awards (including an Oscar for Antonia, an Oscar nomination for Twin Sisters, an Emmy and three times the Prix Europa) and they scored national box office hits (Twin Sisters, Nynke, Oysters at Nam Kee's, Bride Flight). Their films were screened in competitions in Berlin (Chopsticks, Bluebird), Locarno (Katia’s Sister), Toronto (Antonia, Unfinished Sky) and San Sebastian (Godforsaken, Silent City). Hanneke and Hans have built an extensive network in Europa and Australasia of co-producers, funds and financiers. This makes KeyFilm a natural partner in the world of international co-productions. Vital to their approach is the close collaboration with writers and filmmakers to develop intelligent, character-driven audience favourites and art-house films. In 2009 Hanneke Niens and Hans de Wolf founded production company KeyDocs, allowing them to turn their expertise towards producing thought-provoking documentaries.
