Entitled 'The Dutch Touch; Vision and passion for children's films in the Netherlands', the booklet is co-produced by EYE Film Institute Netherlands and was launched at the Berlinale 2012. As well as comprising a comprehensive listing of all Dutch children's films from 1989 onwards, the booklet contains a short overview of the sector with emphasis placed on the ground-breaking films and the key filmmakers over this period.
