EFP - European Film Promotion

EFP at the Toronto International Film Festival

Gateway to the North American Market
September 9-18, 2010

The Toronto International Film Festival has always been an important supporter of quality European cinema. EFP has created and nurtured a strong, collaborative relationship with the festival which has enabled the effective promotion of European cinema at this extremely important event.

Since EFP's first association with Toronto in 1997, the number of European films shown has grown from 50 productions to over 130 features from EFP member countries in 2009. Introducing the work of new European directors to enthusiastic Toronto audiences has become a Festival tradition and remains a prime focus of the EFP members promotional mandate.
