Rutger Hauer Filmfactory

Rutger Hauer

masterclass

A playful visit to some basic elements in (digital) filmmaking and its tools.
Directing, Acting, Photography, Lighting, Editing, Sound, and what else which catches the eye, will be the focus of this masterclass for up and coming film makers from all over the world.
Watch Rutger

In 2006 Rutger Hauer fulfilled his dream and started the Rutger Hauer Filmfactory, a foundation based in the Netherlands that has the goal to organize masterclasses, workshops and courses for filmmakers, students in the film and audiovisual sector and talented school children as well as to promote and strengthen the international film branch through the network of the participants and experts.

Since 2007 we organized three Rutger Hauer masterclasses in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. At this moment we are working on finding structural financing for the masterclass so until further notice no masterclasses are planned in the near future. We hope to inform you by May 2012. Until that time our office will be closed.
