European Film Promotion (EFP) is backing marketing measures of 38 films from 14 European countries at the American Film Market (AFM), which runs from November 5-12.
According to EFP, 38 European sales companies are earmarked to receive Film Sales Support (FSS) totalling €120,000 for the marketing of each one film which has not yet been sold to North America.
Moreover, EFP’s Umbrella Office is being run for the 16th time at the AFM. Here, 23 European production and sales companies from 11 countries are setting up shop this year.
The office is again located at Suite #863 at the market’s headquarters in the Loews Hotel. In particular, small and medium-sized companies use the office as a base for their daily business.
To foster business relations and support global networking, EFP invites international professionals to its established European reception on the first day of the AFM.
