Floating on waves of applause from the enthusiastic Korean audience the artistic delegation of EUROPE! Goes Busan steps onto grand festival stage in Busan. The European film artists are presenting their films at the Busan International Film Festival (October 12 – 21) with the support of EFP's (European Film Promotion) longstanding programme to promote European films to the Asian market. The spectacular public stage presentation is part of a series of special events taking place over a four-day period, bringing filmmakers and talent in close contact with the wonderful Korean audience, press and industry. The activities are rounded off with a reception in honour of the film artists, which also welcomes the 33 European world sales companies, participating in EFP's EUROPE! Umbrella at the Asian Film Market (Oct. 14 – 17) as well as Asian buyers and other film professionals. EFP's activities at Busan are financially backed by the Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme of the European Union and the participating EFP member organisations.
