film sales support

EFP (European Film Promotion) not only promotes European films and talent around the world, it also backs marketing campaigns of associated world sales companies to countries outside of Europe via FILM SALES SUPPORT (FSS).

FSS contributes towards additional promotional activities for European films, covering up to 50 percent of marketing costs (see guidelines) at selected non-European film festivals and markets. Requests for FSS must be confirmed by the respective EFP member organisation depending on the country of origin of the film.

PLEASE NOTE that the FSS budget has been reduced for the period June 2018 to June 2019. The guidelines were changed accordingly.

There is one important exception: As EFP manages separate funding from our member organisation SWISS FILMS, applications for the promotion of films from Switzerland are not affected by the budget reduction. Please find here the previous guidelines which still apply to these applications, i.e. a maximum of three applications per company for a festival and two for a market.

FILM SALES SUPPORT is funded by the Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme of the European Union.

Please consult our FSS guidelines how to become associated to EFP.
