With great regret, LEV Pictures has learned of the death of Frans Afman, film financier, former chairman of the Dutch Film Festival and member of our advisory board. Mr. Afman, who was best known as Hollywood’s banker, revolutionised independent film financing with films such as The Name of the Rose, When Harry Met Sally..., Platoon, A Room with a View and The Terminator. Furthermore, over a period of twelve years, he was the chairman of the Dutch Film Festival. In the years since LEV’s founding, Mr. Afman inspired us to think big, create opportunities and take risks, without losing sight of the importance of a solid corporate and financial backbone.

We will remember Mr. Afman as a very passionate and amicable man, always prepared to advise us or open doors for us that would otherwise remain closed. By putting into practice his lessons in cultural entrepreneurship, we hope to honour Mr. Afman and his legacy.
