”I believe that in our constantly changing audiovisual environment the role of promotion and marketing of European films and talent has a real value and our films need continuous support to reach the audience all over the world. EFP keeps on working to strengthen our creative network to the benefit of the European cinema not only in Europe but in all corners of the Globe.“ Éva Vezér
