what we do

EFP cooperates with the Sundance Film Festival to highlight European films at the festival and to connect European filmmakers with the international industry, focussing on North America.
To spur the sales of the European films, EFP hosts a EUROPE! Showcase for North American buyers, addresses them via targeted mailings and provides European world sales companies financially with Film Sales Support (FSS) to boost their promotional campaigns at the festival
