Press release
January 24 2024
Nathalie Mierop is an excellent and multi-faceted professional with many years of experience in the film industry and a large national international network. She studied Spanish Language and Literature and Latin-American studies with a focus on Ibero-American cinema and started her career at the Latin-American department of Radio Netherlands (Radio Nederland Wereldomroep). From 2002 she worked for almost a decade in different roles for several film festivals, including the International Film Festival Rotterdam, Rio de Janeiro International Film Festival, and Holland Film Meeting (the international programme of the Netherlands Film Festival). Since 2010, Nathalie works at SEE NL (formerly known as Eye International) in the role of promotion manager for arthouse & crossover films and immersive projects.
During the four-year leadership of former SEE NL director Ido Abram, SEE NL has started working with a team of specialized promotion managers in the following fields: feature films, documentaries, short & experimental film, youth films, animation, and immersive media.
Each specialist is keeping up and expanding a genre-specific network. Recently, this strategy has proven to be quite successful and effective. In the years to come, SEE NL will maintain its focus on Dutch feature films, and continue to support the specialized promotion of documentaries, short (animated) films, youth films, experimental films, and virtual reality.
Nathalie Mierop: “I am very much looking forward to working with the rest of the SEE NL team to bring Dutch cinema and the Dutch film industry even more to the international spotlight, in close collaboration with the Netherland Film Fund, the Film Commissioner, film festivals, and, above all, the Dutch filmmakers.”
Who are we?
In addition to director Nathalie van Mierop (feature films and immersive), Team SEE NL consists of promotion managers Lisa Linde Nieveld (documentaries and animation), Erik Mund (children's and youth films), André Naus (audience films), Edith van der Heijde (animation, short, and experimental films), and content manager Fien de Leeuw.
