at the Cannes International Film Festival, May 14 - 25, 2008

Part financial expert, part creative genius and part psychologist –
the producer is the lynch pin holding things together behind the scenes of any filmmaking effort. None-the-less, these hard-working professionals are often over-looked in the glamour and hype of many international festivals.

EFP's mandate to focus attention on young European talent helped in creating a unique producer’s spotlight for the first time in 2000, when it initiated PRODUCERS ON THE MOVE at the Cannes International Film Festival and Market. Since then, 177 of Europe’s most talented young producers have been introduced to the industry at large during this important international event.

Complementary information

Regarding the past two years with a total of 43 up-and-coming producers participating in the event, the combined output of follow-up networking contacts with fellow PRODUCERS ON THE MOVE ranging from regular contact up to concrete co-productions has amounted to 67,4 %.
As far as the participants for 2006 and 2007 are concerned, 4 producers are or have been working together on concrete co-productions with other participating producers from the past two years (= 9,3%), 2 have co-produced with producers from earlier years (= 4,6%). 12 producers are planning or negotiating concrete projects (= additional 27,9%) and 11 producers are still in discussion about possible co-productions (= additional 25,6 %).
