Erik Hogenboom, NTR, Coordinator TV IRIS
Thank you Erik!
Today Erik Hogenboom, editor in chief at the Diversity/Religion Department of the Dutch public broadcaster NTR, is coordinating the TV IRIS jury sessions for the last time. Since 1999 he has devoted his professional time and energy to bringing films with diversity topics to PRIX EUROPA with unwaning enthusiasm and tenacity. Thank you, Erik, for bringing TV IRIS to the festival and your vision to us. We will miss you dearly!
The TV IRIS Category is under the Patronage of NTR - the Dutch Public Broadcaster. It invites programmes that deal explicitly with the culturally diverse character of European societies and contribute towards equality, understanding and tolerance between people of different origins, cultures and religions. TV IRIS seeks to be an incentive for programme practitioners to devote their attention to the ethnic diversity aspect of European societies. (PRIX EUROPA 2021 TV IRIS Regulations)
