europe! goes busanat the busan international film festival, october 2020
Promoting European films and its talent to Asia's unique public and growing industry is one of the pioneering initiatives of EFP (European Film Promotion).
Every year, European directors and actors are being welcomed to South Korea's major film event, the Busan International Film Festival (3 — 12 October, 2019), to present their films and to engage with enthusiastic Korean audiences and meet with key Asian and international industry players.
EUROPE! goes Busan shines a light on the spirit and the diversity of European cinema.
Paying heed to the industry aspect of the festival, EFP extended its focus to the Asian Film Market (5 — 8 October, 2019) in 2006, by creating a business hub for European world sales companies, the annual EUROPEAN UMBRELLA.
In alliance with FILM SALES SUPPORT, dedicated towards the promotion and marketing of European films, EUROPE! goes Busan has increased the number of sales to Asia significantly.
The following film artists presented their films at the Busan IFF 2019 with the support of their respective EFP member organisations:
