During the Netherlands Film Festival, the Louis Hartlooper Prize for best film publication was awarded to Jaap Cohen for his book "De bolle Gogh", a biography of filmmaker Theo van Gogh, who was murdered in 2004. Kevin Toma received the oeuvre prize for his years of contribution to film journalism.
