This chapter examines Flemish film co-production policies from the 1960s to the 1980s, focusing on the shifting underpinning rationales and ideologies. Drawing on archival research, it shows how Flemish nationalist concerns framed co-productions as a threat to Flemish cultural autonomy and the creation of a distinct Flemish cinema. Yet, the restricted Flemish market prompted co-productions as this offered financial and distributional benefits. Partnerships with the Netherlands were encouraged under a Greater Netherlandish ideal, whereas collaborations with the French Community were perceived as undermining Flemish identity. From the 1980s onwards, Flemish nationalist considerations gave way to a more market-oriented approach, illustrating how regional, national, and transnational logics intersect in film co-production practices.

摘要

This chapter examines Flemish film co-production policies from the 1960s to the 1980s, focusing on the shifting underpinning rationales and ideologies. Drawing on archival research, it shows how Flemish nationalist concerns framed co-productions as a threat to Flemish cultural autonomy and the creation of a distinct Flemish cinema. Yet, the restricted Flemish market prompted co-productions as this offered financial and distributional benefits. Partnerships with the Netherlands were encouraged under a Greater Netherlandish ideal, whereas collaborations with the French Community were perceived as undermining Flemish identity. From the 1980s onwards, Flemish nationalist considerations gave way to a more market-oriented approach, illustrating how regional, national, and transnational logics intersect in film co-production practices.
