EUROPEAN FILM PROMOTION (EFP) brings European films and talent to the attention of the international industry and media. We are a network of film institutions from 37 European countries, which supports European cinema and professionals in strengthening their current market presence as well as in accessing new territories, and at the same time, improving their international competitiveness, distribution and media presence worldwide. We have joined forces throughout Europe because we are deeply convinced of the power that comes from collaboration and passion for a shared vision: to increase the diversity and spirit of European films and talents around the world.
Together with major international film festivals and markets, EFP creates and establishes promotion and networking programmes tailored to our various target groups in the film industry: European sales companies, filmmakers, producers, actors, institutions, and international buyers, festival programmers and the media.
To enhance the success and visibility of European cinema, we promote selected European films and talents, foster collaborations between European and non-European film industries, support promotional campaigns by European world sales companies, and provide services to improve access to the European industry.
We value diversity and promote a diverse European cinema. Therefore, we welcome all nominations and applications regardless of gender, nationality, race, ethnic, socio-cultural and economic background, religion, perceived disability, age and sexual orientation and identity.
At EFP, we are committed to making sustainable choices in all aspects of our work, caring deeply about our environment. We support the diversity of European cinema by welcoming nominations and applications from all backgrounds, including different genders, nationalities, races, ethnicities, socio-cultural and economic backgrounds, religions, perceived disabilities, ages, and sexual orientations and identities.
EFP is supported by a seven-member board with a two-year term of office.
EFP is a network of 37 European film promotion institutes. To apply for one of our programs,
