EFP (European Film Promotion) is delighted to announce this year's collaboration with Locarno Pro's interdisciplinary industry Think Tank, StepIn. EFP partners with the festival on one of the Expert Roundtables that will open up the debate on worldwide promotion strategies. Film executives – including EFP's member organisations, the European national film promotion institutes, international sales agents, distributors, festivals and exhibitors from around the globe – will brainstorm on challenges imposed by the decline of theatrical releases of foreign language films worldwide and make a case for improving on joint promotional activities to enhance the visibility of European films around the globe.
