Ben Sombogaart's English-language family film Crusade In Jeans won the Golden Calf for best Dutch feature film at the end of the 27th annual Netherlands Film Festival on Saturday night. The film was produced by Dutch staple Kees Kasander of The Kasander Film Company.
The Golden Calves jury, consisting of Andre van Duren, Pieter Fleury, Ronald Giphart, Brigit Hillenius, Jannie Langbroek, Reinier Selen and chairman Paula van der Oest gave awards in 17 categories.
The KPN Audience Award voted on by the 125,000 attendees of the festival went to another family film, Mischa Kamp's Where is Winky's Horse' The film wins a 25,000 euro cash prize to be spent on an online media campaign.
The night's other big winner was Mijke de Jong's intense family drama Stages (Tussenstand), which won the director prize for de Jong as well as the best actress Calf for Elsie de Brauw, best sound and the KNF Award given by the Circle Of Dutch Film Journalists.
Dutch Oscar submission Duska won only one award for supporting actress Sylvia Hoeks, Peter Greenaway's Nightwatching, also produced by Kasander, took two Calves, one for Greenaway's screenplay and one for production design, and Nanouk Leopold's highly regarded Wolfsbergen won two prizes for cinematography and supporting actor Jan Decleir.

Meanwhile, Holland Film Meeting (HFM) head Ellis Driessen said that the five-day HFM which finished last Monday had been 'very productive with real results.'
Of the projects in the Netherlands Production Platform (NPP), several secured co-producers and sales agents.
Hans de Weers' Eyeworks Egmond hopes to sign Germany's Joachim Von Vietinghoff of Von Vietinghoff Filmproduktion as a co-producer before the end of this year on its new Marleen Gorris project My Father's Notebook.
Dutch project Cold from director Bea De Visser struck a deal with Berlin-based MDC International to handle international sales. Several other co-production arrangements are pending, and Driessen said that one of the hottest projects was Irish horror film The Wake Wood to be directed by David Keating (The Last Of The High Kings) and written and co-produced by Brendan McCarthy.
Among the other international producers attending the HFM were Cedomir Kolar of ASAP Films in Paris, Julie Baines of DAN Films in London and Pierre Spengler of Clubdeal Ltd in London.
