In 2022, Independent Films, a prominent Dutch distribution company, became fully integrated into Belga Films after over 20 years of successful collaboration. This acquisition allows Belga to expand its presence in the Netherlands, merging Dutch film development and distribution into a single, streamlined operation. With this move, Belga can now release films in both Belgium and the Netherlands, while also boosting opportunities for Dutch-language content.
