Networking in Cannes: 23 selected participants

PRODUCERS ON THE MOVE in Cannes 2010

Selected by European Film Promotion's member organizations (EFP), 23 aspiring producers from across Europe are participating in EFP's PRODUCERS ON THE MOVE 2010 programme (May 15th – 18th) during the Cannes International Film Festival.

Within the framework of the three-day programme, the participants have been discussing the content, planning and financing of their European-based film projects. The past years have seen up to 50% of the participants planning co-productions together. The initiative, which is financially backed by the MEDIA Programme of the European Union, has become a label for young, successful producers over the course of the past eleven years.
